Chemistry I emphasizes the qualitative and quantitative study of substances and the changes that occur in them. Students will investigate using various lab techniques and apply mathematical and problem-solving skills. A survey of concepts includes atomic structure, chemical bonding, formulas and equations, stoichiometry and other calculations based on molar relationships, phases of matter and the kinetic molecular theory, the acid-base theory, and simple organic chemistry. This course has an associated Standards of Learning (SOL) test. Students will participate in this test only when they have not yet earned verified science credit for graduation.
