This course of study represents the modern view of chemistry suitable to students with a wide range of skills and abilities. It emphasizes concepts rather than isolated facts. The course is divided into twelve major areas including: matter and energy, atomic structure, chemical bonding, the periodic table, chemical mathematics, chemical reactions, acid-base chemistry, electrochemistry, kinetics and equilibrium, nuclear chemistry, chemical applications, and organic chemistry. Laboratory exercises are an integral part of this course and written reports must be satisfactorily completed in order to gain admission to the Regents Examination. The final exam for this course is the New York State Regents Examination in Chemistry. Students should have at least completed Integrated Algebra and be enrolled in Integrated Geometry
