This course is designed to challenge the more advanced students and is taught at an accelerated pace. The content of this course includes the following: matter and energy, atomic structure, bonding, periodic table, mathematics of chemistry, kinetics and equilibrium, acids and bases, redox and electrochemistry, organic chemistry, applications of chemical properties, nuclear chemistry, and laboratory activities. All content objectives are extended and enriched. A strong math background in which the student has acquired competence in formula writing and solving equations is essential for success. 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. See Guidelines for Placement of Students in Honors/AP/Dual Enrolled Classes.
