DESCRIPTION
This course is designed as a college preparatory class. It
explores the traditional topics of chemistry including: states of
matter, stoichiometry, gas laws, the periodic chart, atomic structure,
chemical bonding, solutions, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases,
and
chemical nomenclature. There are multiple lab experiences.
