Curriculum Review- Chemistry 11
Introduction
This curriculum review was prepared using the pan-Canadian Common Framework of Science
Learning Outcomes K-12. The review will provide teachers with the expected outcomes for
chemistry 11. The review will also suggest ideas and resources for lesson plans, assessments and
safety precautions. The curriculum has three units: Stoichiometry, Stuctures to Properties and
Organic Chemistry. When teaching Chemistry 11, it is suggested to follow the order of the panCanadian guide as the units in stoichiometry and structures and properties assist in learning the
unit of organic chemistry. It is encouraged that teachers will cover all units with a focus on
scientific literacy and STSE expectations.

Unit 1 – Stoichiometry – Katie Beaton
Overall Expectations:
“Develop skills in single problem solving (finding molar mass) and multi-level problem solving
(percent yield).”
“Perform stoichiometric calculations related to chemical equations and be able to design
stoichiometric experiements.”
“Communicate questions, ideas, and intentions, and receive, interpret, understand, support, and
respond to the ideas of others.”
“Identify various stoichiometric applications.”
“Compare processes used in science with those used in technology.”
“Analyse society’s influence on science and technology.”
Key Questions:
“How is a mole and molar mass defined?”
“What information do chemical equations give us?”
“Why are quantitative chemical relationships important in the home and in industries?”
“How are the quantitative relationships in balanced chemical reactions used for experiments and
calculations?”

UNIT TWO – Meaghan MacNeil
From Structures to Properties
“Identify and describe the properties of ionic and molecular compounds and metallic substances”
“Classify ionic, molecular and metallic substances according to their properties”
“Illustrate and explain the formation of ionic, covalent and metallic bonds”
“Explain the structural model of a substance in terms of the bonds that define it”
“Identify limitations of categorizing bond types based on differences in electronegativity
between the elements and compounds and describe how the different types of bonds account for
the properties of ionic and molecular compounds and metallic substances”
“Illustrate and explain hydrogen bonds and van der Waals’ forces”
Key Questions, (Mustoe et al., 2004, p.156)
“What are ionic, covalent and metallic bonds and how can you predict which type of bond will
form between atoms of specific elements?”
“What types of interactions cause molecules to attract to each other and how do these attractive
forces differ in liquids and solids?”
“How can an understanding of bonds between atoms and interactions between molecules allow
you to explain and predict the structure and behavior of substances?”

Unit 3 – Tristan MacDonald
Organic Chemistry:
“Explain the large number and diversity of organic compounds with reference to the unique
nature of the carbon atom”.
“Explain how organic chemistry has evolved as new evidence has come to light and the
influence of organic compounds on society”.
“Classify various organic compounds by determining to which families they belong, based on
their names and structure”.
“Write the formula and provide the IUPAC name for a variety of organic compounds”.
“Distinguish between scientific questions and technological problems… select and use apparatus
and material safely”.
“Define isomers and illustrate the structural formulas for a variety of organic isomers”.
“Write and balance chemical equations to predict the reactions of selected organic compounds”.
Key Questions:
