High school
The high-school program covers Seconde, Première and Terminale (the chemistry side of the French physics-chemistry specialism): structure of matter, transformations, thermochemistry, kinetics, organic chemistry. Six chapters to move from qualitative to quantitative, predictive chemistry. The last chapter bridges to undergraduate-level work.
- Chapter 01
Constitution of matter
From atom to bond: atomic structure, electron configuration, periodic classification, trends, covalent/ionic/metallic bonding, VSEPR geometry.
1/8 lessons published - Chapter 02
Amount of substance and solutions
The mole, molar mass, molar concentration, dilutions. Stoichiometry — what makes chemistry quantitative.
1/4 lessons published - Chapter 03
Chemical transformations
Acid-base, oxidation-reduction, precipitation, complexation, equilibria. The major reaction families to master in high school.
1/7 lessons published - Chapter 04
Thermochemistry and kinetics
Energy exchanged by a reaction, its rate, orders, and catalysis. When and how a reaction proceeds.
0/5 lessons published - Chapter 05
Organic chemistry
Carbon and its molecules: skeletons, functional groups, reactions. The basics for biochemistry and pharmacy.
0/6 lessons published - Chapter 06n+1 bridge
Toward undergraduate chemistry
Three opening lessons: detailed atomic orbitals, spectroscopies (NMR, IR), reaction mechanisms. Material to enter undergraduate chemistry confidently.
