Chemistry Honors

Chemistry Honors is an advanced course and in-depth study of the established principles of chemistry. Students will discover relationships between the structure and properties of matter and will use the knowledge to produce new materials. The course will cover topics such as atomic structure, periodic table, bonding, chemical names and formulas, mole relationships, balancing and predicting reactions, stoichiometry, behavior of gases, solutions, reaction rates, equilibrium, acids and bases, and redox reactions. This class is very math intensive. This course is required for students who are planning to complete the Honors Medical Professions Program.

Honors level classes can expect more rigorous requirements for assignments and assessments.

Prerequisite: 'B' in previous honors level science classes, completion of Honors Algebra 2 or Algebra 2 Advanced.
