| Description: The AP Chemistry course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first college year. Students will attain a depth of understanding of fundamentals and a competence in dealing with chemical problems. They will develop their ability to think clearly and express their ideas orally and in writing with clarity and logic. Emphasis is placed on chemical calculations and mathematical formulation of principles through extensive laboratory work. These topics include structure of matter, chemical/molecular bonding, states of matter, solutions, gases, oxidation reduction, acids and bases, equilibria, thermodynamics, kinetics, electrochemistry and qualitative analysis. This curriculum, developed by the AP Chemistry Committee, will prepare the student to perform at his or her best on the AP exam. |
