AP Chemistry I/Lab is designed to offer a more in-depth presentation of the structure of matter, bonding and intermolecular forces, chemical reactions, kinetics, thermodynamics, and chemical equilibrium. This course covers the chemistry and chemical principles typical of first-semester college and university general chemistry courses. Students learn the usefulness and relevance of chemistry in both their intended areas of study and in the everyday world. The course contributes to the development of the students’ abilities to think clearly and to express their ideas, orally and in writing, with clarity and logic.
