Module 1 - Aqueous Solutions
In This Module
Introduction to the Module
Understanding the structure of matter is the key to understanding why it acts as it does. The physical structure of various atoms relates directly to their chemical properties, the types of bonds they form and what solutions they are soluble in. In this module we will investigate the relationship between chemical structure, chemical bonds, solubility and concentration.
In this module we will discuss :
1. The structure of matter
2. Atomic Bonding
3. Breaking Bonds
4. Solutions and Concentrations
5. Calculating Concentrations.
Once you have completed these lessons you will have an understanding of how various compounds bond as well as characteristics of solutions and how to calculate concentrations.
Big Picture
Big Picture
Understanding chemical structure and bonding is the foundation for being able to anticipate the behavior of chemicals in chemical reactions. Once chemical reactions are understood and their products can be anticipated, chemical reactions can be used to produce products that are needed or wanted. The concentration of chemical solutions plays an important part in predicting the products of chemical reactions as the concentration of solutions participating in reactions affects the product yield of those reactions.
Module 1 Inquiry
Here are some questions you want to be thinking about as we work through this module.
- What are atoms made of ?
- What are different types of bonding ?
- How can you measure concentration ?
- What is the most common concentration calculation used for aqueous solutions ?
Lesson 1.1.1
Lesson 1- The Structure of Matter
Get Focused
The Atom is the basic particle of matter. We will investigate the structure of the atom as well as the parts that make up the atom.
Consider the following essential questions as you complete Lesson 1:
- What is the difference between an atom and an ion ?
- What are electrons, protons and neutrons ?
- What is the difference between atomic mass and atomic number ?
- What is an isotope

Lesson 3 will look the breaking of bond in chemical reactions.
Lesson 1.1.3
Lesson 3 - Breaking Bonds
Get Focused
It has been said that if you want to make an omelette you have to break some eggs. In the same way if you want to make a new chemical compound, you are going to have to break some bonds. In this lesson we will investigate chemical reactions and the role that chemical bond have in chemical reactions.
Consider the following essential questions as you complete Lesson 3:
- What are reactants ?
- What are products ?
- How do we balance equations ?
Module 1: Lesson 3 Assignment - Please note that there is some overlap between lesson 3 and 4. Watch the tutorials for both before doing the lesson 3 online assignment.
