Honors Chemistry II

This course is designed for students who enjoyed their chemistry experience in sophomore year and is particularly well-suited for students who have a career interest in the physical sciences or chemical engineering. Honors Chemistry II includes an intensive overview of topics from tenth-grade chemistry as well as an intensive study of new topics including kinetics (rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions), chemical equilibrium, acids and bases, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and an introduction to organic chemistry. An emphasis will be placed on experimentation, problem solving, and real-life application. This is a rigorous senior elective and requires department chair approval. (Note that Senior science elective offerings vary from year to year based on student interest.)
