Course Objective
AP Chemistry is a rigorous second-year chemistry course that is equivalent to one year of general college chemistry. AP Chemistry expands on topics from pre-AP Chemistry such as stoichiometry, reactions, solutions, and acids and bases; it also covers new topics such as equilibrium, thermodynamics, kinetics, and electrochemistry.
The course centers around four big ideas and six science practices:
