VCE Chemistry
Chemistry All about matter? What is matter? How does matter behave in the natural world? How does matter interact in the natural world? How can we shape the atomic level to benefit human health and environment? Seymour College / 2
Course Overview Unit 1 How can the diversity of materials be explained? Periodic table and trends, types of chemical bonding, the mole concept, polymers and research investigation Unit 2 How do chemical reactions shape the natural world? Acids and bases, redox reactions, water analysis for gases and salts, and practical investigation Unit 3 How can design and innovation help to optimize chemical processes? Fuels, galvanic cells, fuel cells, electrolysis, rate and chemical equilibrium for industrial chemistry. Unit 4 How are carbon-based compounds designed for purpose? Organic Compounds and reactions, analysis of organic compounds, medicinal chemistry + practical investigation Seymour College / 3
