š Course Details:
Our curriculum is carefully curated to give you a comprehensive understanding of chemistry and its various facets:
1. Structure of the Atom and Bonding: Start your journey by learning about the evolution of atomic structure, supported by evidence from advances in science and technology.
2. Chemical Reactions and Calculations: Understand key terms like relative atomic mass and relative molecular mass and discover the importance of the mole in measuring amounts of substances.
3. Rate of Reaction and Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions: Delve into the collision theory and how changes in conditions can impact the speed of a chemical reaction.
4. Chemical Reactions in Equilibria: Learn about the factors influencing reaction progression, and how Le Chatelierās principle can be used to predict the effects of changes in conditions.
5. Redox Reactions and Electrochemical Cells: Explore the changes during redox reactions, deduce whether oxidation or reduction has occurred, and construct half-equations for these processes.
6. Inorganic Chemistry: Uncover how elements are classified based on their position in the periodic table and understand trends in atomic radius.
7. Inorganic Chemistry Part One:Ā Familiarise yourself with the IUPAC system for naming organic compounds, their reactions, and different types of isomerism.
8. Inorganic Chemistry Part Two: Finish with a comprehensive look at optical isomerism, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, aromatic chemistry, amines, polymers, amino acids, organic synthesis, and chromatography.
