Nelson Chemistry 12
Introduction to Chemistry

This grade 12 University course is to teach students about organic chemistry, organic chemisty, energy changes and rates of reactions, chemical systems and equilibrium, electrochemistry, and atomic and molecular structure. Students will be involved in labs, giving them the opportunity to communicate research with the proper terminology using their analysis. Students will learn the importance of chemistry in daily life as well as the developement of new technologies and products.

Prerequisites

In order to be able to take this course, you will need a credit in Grade 9 Academic/Applied Science, Grade 10 Academic Science, and Grade 11 Chemistry. Although this is not a requirement, it is often suggested by teachers that those with less than 70% in Grade 11 Chemistry should not take the Grade 12 Chemistry course. That is just a suggestion. Guidance councilors will also suggest that you have good math skills as some of the units will require complex math equations.

After the Credit

A credit in this course can get you into university after high school graduation. Most University Science courses will require the Grade 12 Chemistry Credit. For those who do not wish to get into the sciences, this credit simply looks good for one trying to apply to a university or colledge.

Unit One: Organic Chemistry
This unit focuses on carbon containing compounds found in organic chemistry. Carbon is tetravalent, meaning that it has a bonding capacity of four due to its four vallence shells.
