AP CHEMISTRY
CHEMISTRY 2
Be sure to check the 'Mastering Chemistry' section for additional information.
​
Summer homework will start appearing in Unit 1-3. These are mostly review but I will be giving you harder questions to prepare you for the class.
​
This course may use a book but we will be looking at some of the big ideas of chemistry.
​
These big ideas and science practices are taken from the AP Chemistry site/training
However these are updated this 2019-20 and the course will follow the 9 units described in:

Chem 2 standards taken from tn.gov website (click button below)

UNIT 1: ATOMIC STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES
Chemical elements are the building materials of matter, and all matter can be understood in terms of arrangement of atoms. These atoms retain their identity in chemical reactions.
CHEM2 Standard PS1: Matter and Its Interactions
CHEM2 Standard PS4: Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer
​
Review (linked - so just click them):
Orbitals and Electron configuration
Also there are a lot of lab procedure questions that get asked so we will be doing a lot of labs review this as well:
​
Quizes:
Turn in as you finish and give me a day or so to return. Remember to try on your own and then feel free to look stuff up. This is about learning the material.
UNIT 2: MOLECULAR AND IONIC COMPOUND STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES
​
UNIT 3: INTERMOLECULAR FORCES AND PROPERTIES
Chemical and physical properties of materials can be explained by the structure and the arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules and the forces between them.
CHEM2 Standard PS2: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Review ionic and covalent and naming:

UNIT 4: CHEMICAL REACTIONS
Changes in matter involve the rearrangement and/or reorganization of atoms and/or the transfer of electrons
CHEM2 Standard PS1: Matter and Its Interactions
UNIT 5: KINETICS
Rates of chemical reactions are determined by details of the molecular collisions.
CHEM2 Standard PS2: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
UNIT 6: THERMODYNAMICS
The laws of thermodynamics describe the essential role of energy and explain and predict the direction of changes in matter.
CHEM2 Standard PS3: Energy
UNIT 7: CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM
Any bond or intermolecular attraction that can be formed can be broken. These two processes are in dynamic competition, sensitive to initial conditions and external perturbations.
​CHEM2 Standard PS2: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
UNIT 8: ACIDS AND BASES
Acids and bases are a special class of chemicals. We expand on chem 1 and introduce buffers.
CHEM2 Standard PS1: Matter and Its Interactions
​
UNIT 9: APPLICATION OF THERMODYNAMICS
The laws of thermodynamics describe the essential role of energy and explain and predict the direction of changes in matter.
CHEM2 Standard PS3: Energy
SCIENTIFIC PRACTICES
Science Practice 1: The student can use representations and models to communicate scientific phenomena and solve scientific problems.
Science Practice 2: The student can use mathematics appropriately.
Science Practice 3: The student can engage in scientific questions to extend thinking or to guide investigations within the context of the course.
Science Practice 4: The student can plan and implement data collection strategies in relation to a particular scientific question.
Science Practice 5: The student can perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence.
Science Practice 6: The student can work with scientific explanations and theories.
Science Practice 7: The student is able to connect and relate knowledge across various scales, concepts, and representations in and across domains.
