Here is the general plan we will follow for all chemistry classes at Parish this year.
(CP = college prep chemistry and Honors = honors chemistry)
1 Intro. to chemistry
Matter, physical and chemical changes
2 Atoms, Elements
Elements, symbols,
3 Atomic theory
4 Chemical bonding
Types of chemical bonds, electronegativity, ionic bonds, Lewis structures,
covalent bonds and molecular compounds
5 Nomenclature
Ions, polyatomic ions, ionic compounds, names of compounds
6 Measurements and calculations

9 Reactions in aqueous solutions
What reactions will occur, how do you know this?
10 Mole relationship and chemical reactions
What does a chemical equation tell us?
11 Energy
Temperature and heat in chemistry
12 Gasses
Ideal gas laws, kinetic theory
13 Solid, liquids, solutions
Water and its phase changes, solubility
14 Acid/base concepts
Ph scale, strong and weak acids, bases

You will lose 50%
of the total points each day an assignment is late!
Come to class ready to work, bring paper,
pen and calculator. I will not provide
any calculators and you will not share calculators. If you forget yours, do
your best with out it ( I hope you can do log functions in your head!!)
