Chemistry 11

In Chemistry 11 (British Columbia curriculum), students explore key foundational topics that prepare them for higher-level chemistry. The main areas of study include:

1. Atomic theory and structure
2. Periodic trends and the periodic table
3. Chemical bonding and molecular geometry
4. The mole concept and stoichiometry
5. Chemical reactions and energetics
6. Solution chemistry
7. Organic chemistry
8. Dimensional analysis and unit conversions

 

Chemistry 12

In Chemistry 12 (British Columbia curriculum), students study a range of advanced topics that build on foundational chemistry principles. The topics include:

1. Reaction kinetics
2. Dynamic equilibrium
3. Solubility equilibria
4. Nature of acids and bases
5. Quantitative acid‑base problem solving (pH, Ka, Kb, titrations, buffers)
6. Oxidation–reduction reactions
7. Applications of redox reactions (electrochemical and electrolytic cells, corrosion)
8. Dimensional analysis and unit conversions
