Chemistry is a comprehensive course that focuses on the understanding of concepts in chemistry and the mastery of critical scientific skills.

They are encouraged to look at chemistry from both a personal and worldly perspective, and analyze the social implications of the topics covered. Topics include the nature of matter; the structure of atoms and molecules; bond formations; the qualitative and quantitative aspects of chemical reactivity; physical and chemical properties of solids, liquids, and gases; states of matter; phase transitions; equilibrium; kinetics; thermodynamics; electrochemistry; nuclear chemistry; and an introduction to organic chemistry. Student work will be required outside of class time.
