This course covers the basic principles and properties of matter. Learning these concepts will enhance your understanding of chemistry and its use in many everyday activities. First, you’ll study atomic structure in the organization of elements. Then you’ll examine different types of bonding and discover how and why chemicals react to form new substances. Once you understand chemical reactions, you’ll learn how scientists use the process of stoichiometry to maximize the results of chemical reactions. As you find out more about the role of chemistry in our world, you will have a greater ability to see those connections for yourself.
