In Introduction to Chemistry, learners will discover the impact of chemistry on everyday life. They’ll learn about the structure of the atom, study periodic trends, analyze the structure of molecules and their properties, and describe the importance of common functional groups within the periodic table. They’ll identify balanced chemical equations, describe types of chemical reactions and predict their products, and examine intermolecular forces and describe their impact on the properties of substances. Finally, they’ll study the properties of acids, bases, and buffer systems, and properties unique to liquids and gases.
