Chemistry 20 (5 Credits)
This highly academic program is designed to study matter and its changes. This program emphasizes the context of science by considering the Laboratory work will reinforce the theoretical concepts.
The four units of study covered are:
- The Diversity of Matter and Chemical Bonding
- Forms of Matter: Gases
- Matter as Solutions, Acids and Bases
- Quantitative Relationships in Chemical Changes
Laboratory work will reinforce the theoretical concepts.
Chemistry 30 (5 Credits)
This highly academic program is designed to study matter and its changes. This program emphasizes the context of science by considering the interrelationships among science, technology and society. Students, through the study of Chemistry 20-30, are given an opportunity to explore and understand the natural world and to become aware of the profound influence of chemistry on their lives.
The four units of study covered are:
- Thermochemical Changes
- Electrochemical Changes
- Chemical Changes of Organic Compounds
- Chemical Equilibrium Focusing on Acid-Base Systems
Laboratory work will reinforce the theoretical concepts
Note: Completion of Chemistry 30 requires the writing of a provincial diploma examination and the course is a prerequisite for many science based programs at post-secondary institutions.
