Welcome to the “Chemistry Full Course,” an extensive and detailed exploration into high school chemistry designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the subject. This course offers a total duration of 22 hours and 6 minutes, providing ample time to delve deeply into the fundamentals of chemistry in an organized and methodical fashion.
The journey begins with an introduction to high school chemistry and the fundamental concept of matter. Here, students will get acquainted with the building blocks of the subject, setting a solid foundation for understanding more complex topics. The course then progresses to cover essential principles such as significant figures, scientific notation, and the crucial concepts of precision and accuracy that are vital for any scientific endeavor.
A significant portion of the course is dedicated to units and conversions, ensuring that students are well-versed in the various measurement systems and their conversions, a skill indispensable in scientific calculations. It then advances into the realm of atomic theory and atomic structure, providing insights into the basic components that make up matter and their organizational patterns through an introduction to the periodic table.
Nomenclature and the naming of compounds form another critical section, allowing students to communicate chemical information accurately and effectively. This is followed by lessons on balancing chemical equations and exploring different types of chemical reactions, including oxidation-reduction reactions and double replacement reactions, which are foundational for understanding chemical processes.
The course also covers calculations involving moles, mass percents, empirical and molecular weights, and limiting reactant calculations, offering students the analytical tools necessary for stoichiometric problem-solving. Thermodynamic principles, such as the first law of thermodynamics, calorimetry, and Hess's Law, are explored to give students an understanding of energy transformations in chemical reactions.
Continuing with more advanced topics, the course includes in-depth discussions on light, electromagnetic radiation, and the electronic structure of atoms, encompassing concepts like electron configuration and quantum numbers. It further examines periodic trends and various types of chemical bonding, including ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding.
Students will also gain expertise in molecular geometry, molecular polarity, and bond enthalpy through Lewis Dot Structures, electron domain geometry, and more. The study of gases, gas laws including the Ideal Gas Law, and other associated principles like Dalton's and Graham's Laws, is comprehensively addressed.
Intermolecular forces, phase diagrams, and solids are topics that lead into the study of solutions and their properties, including concentration, dilutions, and colligative properties. Furthermore, the course offers a detailed introduction to acids and bases, pH calculations, titrations, and buffers, all crucial for mastering chemical equilibria.
Equilibrium concepts, Le Chatelier's Principle, and various types of equilibrium calculations prepare students for the complexity of solubility and weak acid/base equilibria. Advanced oxidation-reduction reactions, the balancing of redox reactions, and the study of voltaic and electrolytic cells are explored in depth.
Nuclear chemistry topics cover nuclear decay routes, nuclear energy, and the kinetics of nuclear decay, providing a holistic understanding of chemical reactions at the nuclear level. The course concludes with an introduction to hydrocarbons, naming alkanes, functional groups, and an exploration of polymers and biopolymers, rounding out a thorough and well-rounded chemistry education.
