Modern Chemistry is a college prep course intended to teach the concepts of chemistry. This course is a must for students considering a four-year degree in a science field or for students who have been successful in previous science and math classes. Students who struggle in mathematics are encouraged to take Principles of Chemistry. Students study metric measurements, atomic structure, periodic classification, bonding, formula writing, chemical nomenclature, chemical equations, types of chemical reactions, calculations involving element and compounds, solids/liquids/gases, water, solutions, acids and bases, reaction rates and equilibrium, organic chemistry, and nuclear chemistry.
