AP Chemistry builds students' understanding of the nature and reactivity of matter. After studying the structure of atoms, molecules, and ions, students move on to solve quantitative chemical problems and explore how molecular structure relates to chemical and physical properties. Students will examine the molecular composition of common substances and learn to predictably transform them through chemical reactions. AP chemistry prepares students for the AP Exam. The content aligns to the scope and sequences specified by the College Board. Students who enroll in this class are strongly encouraged to register for a directed study. This will assist them with the rigor and time requirements of the course.
