Honors Chemistry is designed to introduce the student to a wide range of chemical applications. The course is structured similar to the Regents course and culminates with the regents exam, however, topics will be explored in greater depth and at a quicker pace as compared to the Regents course. Topics that will be covered include: matter and energy, atomic structure, chemical bonding, the periodic table, stoichiometry, kinetics and equilibrium, acids and bases, reduction/oxidation, organic chemistry, and modern chemical applications. Students are expected to have an aptitude for math and maintain an 80 average. The class meets daily with an extra period every other day for laboratory work. Students must have successfully completed 1200 minutes of hands-on laboratory exercises in order to be eligible for the Chemistry Regents exam
