Canyon AP Chemistry

AP Chemistry is an introductory college-level chemistry course. Students cultivate their understanding of chemistry through inquiry-based lab investigations as they explore the four Big Ideas: scale, proportion, and quantity; structure and properties of substances; transformations; and energy. (College Board)

Units and Topics we will cover (*not necessarily in this order*)

• Atomic Structure and Properties

• Molecular and Ionic Compound Structures and Properties

• Intermolecular Forces and Properties

• Chemical Reactions

• Kinetics

• Thermodynamics

• Equilibrium

• Acids and Bases

• Applications of Thermo 

Big Ideas:

As we progress through the units, the Big Ideas are the four foundation blocks that will help thread the topics and lessons together for a deeper conceptual understanding

1. Scale Proportion and Quantity (SPQ)

2. Structure and Properties (SAP)

3. Transformations

4. Energy (ENE)
