Course Outline

In Chemistry 20, you will explore matter and how it changes in order to understand the natural world.  You will also investigate the chemical properties of solutions, and apply your understanding of chemical bonds to explain ionic and molecular compounds. Finally, you will explain the behaviour of gases, using the gas laws, and also work to balance chemical equations. 

The goal of this course is to provide students with a sound foundation in Chemistry for success at a Chemistry 20 level which will allow for success at a Chemistry 30 level.
