AP Chemistry

AP Chemistry

Advanced Placement Chemistry is a second year honors course taken by students who plan to major in biomedical, pharmaceutical or other technical fields. It is comparable to a first year college course both in the topics covered and laboratory experience. Topics covered include kinetics, equilibrium systems, oxidation-reduction reactions, thermodynamics, organic nomenclature and functional groups, electrochemistry, acid-base theories and buffer systems.

AP Chemistry focuses on both theory and labs to teach topics that students must understand to do well on the AP Chemistry exam in May. Students who earn a three or higher score may receive college credit for Freshman Chemistry. Please check with the university you plan to attend for details about their AP test requirements.
