Grade 11 - Science

Chemistry B Honors - Semester 2 (Credit: 0.50)

The second part of honors chemistry deals with some of the particular applications of chemical principles, such as acids and bases, electrochemistry, organic and biochemistry. In addition, the energetics of chemical reactions are examined in some detail, extending their application to nuclear reactions. The intent is to give you, the student, a background in the major areas of chemistry, with the intent that you can either apply such knowledge to other sciences or pursue one or more of the areas in greater detail. Organic and biochemistry, for example, contain a lifetime of material for study, all based upon the simple covalent nature of the carbon bond. Energetics, of course, apply to all reactions, and the principles of thermochemistry give insight into all changes. So continue on, building a foundation for a lifetime of discovery.
