About Honors Chemistry 2

Chemistry Home

 Welcome to the Honors Chemistry 2 website!  I am going to try to update this site to include other things, but for now I am including the course description, course syllabus and the lab safety contract.  Check the Units link to access course materials arranged by unit.

New for the 2007-08 school year is the mini-unit on Nanotechnology.  Because this is such an expanding area of chemistry, students will get an introduction to what nanotechnology is, and be able to perform two experiments that deal with nanoparticles.  This year is a trial year, and, if successful, this unit may become part of the Honors Chemistry 2 curriculum.

This course was designed to help you through your future chemistry courses in college.  I will try to focus on the understanding of the material, rather than pushing you through as many units as possible.  Professors from a few of the local universities have remarked on how this could potentially help future college students more than an AP course could.  Preparation is the focus here!

Honors Chemistry 2 is a second-year extension of the Foundations of Chemistry course.  It is designed to provide a more complete background in chemistry for those students needing in-depth science training in preparation for post-high school education or employment. 

 Areas of study include an extensive exposure to reaction kinetics, equilibrium systems, and acid-base systems and applications, as well as an introduction to thermochemistry, environmental chemistry, organic nomenclature, nuclear chemistry and electrochemistry.
