Standards of Learning--Chemistry Resources
There are links at the bottom of this page and every page on GeoLibrary to link to other GeoLibrary pages.
The Chemistry standards are designed to provide students with a detailed understanding of the interaction of matter and energy. This interaction is investigated through the use of laboratory techniques, manipulation of chemical quantities, and problem-solving applications. Scientific methodology will be employed in experimental and analytical investigations, and concepts will be illustrated with practical applications. Technology including graphing calculators and computers will be employed where feasible. Students will understand and use safety precautions with chemicals and equipment. The standards emphasize qualitative and quantitative study of substances and the changes that occur in them. In meeting the chemistry standards, students will be encouraged to share their ideas, use the language of chemistry, discuss problem-solving techniques, and communicate effectively.
CH.1 The student will investigate and understand that experiments
in which variables are measured, analyzed, and evaluated, produce observations and verifiable data. Key concepts include
designated laboratory techniques;
safe use of chemicals and equipment;
proper response to emergency situations;
multiple variables are manipulated with repeated trials;
accurate recording, organizing, and analysis of data through repeated trials;
mathematical and procedural error analysis; and
mathematical manipulations (SI units, scientific notation, linear equations, graphing, ratio and proportion, significant digits, dimensional analysis, use of scientific calculator). Scientific Notation
CH.2 The student will investigate and understand that the placement of elements on the periodic table is a function of their atomic structure.
The periodic table is a tool used for the investigations of - alpha list with element's history and chemistry
CH.5 The student will investigate and understand that the phases
of matter are explained by kinetic theory and forces of attraction between particles. Key concepts include
pressure, temperature, and volume;
vapor pressure;
partial pressures;
phase changes;
molar heats of fusion and vaporization;
specific heat capacity;
solutions;
colligative properties.
CH.6 The student will investigate and understand how basic chemical principles relate to other areas of chemistry. Key concepts include
