This course delves into the world of Chemistry in more depth. In this course you will look at: Atomic structure and bonding including thermochemical principles, equilibrium of aqueous solutions, organic reactions and properties, oxidation and reduction, the use of spectroscopic data. Due to the nature of the chemicals used students are required to wear closed toed shoes for all practical lessons.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
Workbooks are available for purchase (approximately $30.00)
