Course Description
This course enables students to deepen their understandin of chemistry throu h the study of the properties of chemicals and chemical bonds! chemical reactions and "uantitative relationships in those reactions! solutions and solubility! and atmospheric chemistry and the behaviour of ases. Students #ill further develop their analytical s$ills and investi ate the "ualitative and "uantitative properties of matter% as #ell as the impact of some common chemical reactions on society and the environment.
