Exploration of the quantitative nature of matter and the evolution of models describing the internal structure of the atom.
Understanding mole concept, empirical formulas, and the mathematical relationships in chemical reactions.
Transitioning from Bohr's orbits to the probability-based orbitals of modern quantum theory.
Periodicity and Chemical Bonding
Analyzing how the arrangement of electrons dictates the periodic properties of elements and the formation of chemical bonds.
Connecting effective nuclear charge to observable trends like ionization enthalpy and atomic radii.
Predicting the three dimensional shapes of molecules based on electron pair repulsion.
Thermodynamics and Energetics
Investigating the flow of energy and the laws that determine the spontaneity of chemical processes.
Measuring heat changes in chemical reactions at constant pressure.
Defining the criteria for spontaneity and the role of disorder in the universe.
Chemical Equilibrium and Acids
Studying the dynamic nature of reversible reactions and the behavior of aqueous ionic solutions.
Predicting how a system at equilibrium responds to external stresses.
Analyzing the dissociation of weak acids, bases, and the functionality of buffer systems.
Redox Reactions and Electrochemistry
Examining reactions involving electron transfer and their applications in energy storage.
Developing methods to track electron movement in complex chemical equations.
Introduction to the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy.
