IB Chemistry 2
Students in this class will get the same information as in IB Chemistry 1 with more depth and breadth.

Topic 10--Oxidation and Reduction--Ebbing Chapters 3, 19
        I. REDOX
            1) Define oxidation and reduction
            2) determine the oxidation numbers in a compound
            3) decide whether an element is oxidized or reduced
        II. Electrolysis of a molten salt
            1) sketch a diagram of an electrolytic cell
            2) describe how current is conducted in an electrolytic cell
            3) deduce the products for the electrolysis of a molten salt.
        III. Reactivity
            1) deduce a reactivity series based on the chemical behavior of a group of elements
            2) predict the feasibility of a redox reaction from a reactivity series
 

Topic 11--Organic Chemistry--Ebbing Chapters 24-25
        I.  Homologous series
            1) explain the concept of a homologous series
            2) predict the trends in boiling points of members of a homologous series
        II. Hydrocarbons
            1) draw structural formula for straingt-chain alkanes up to C6
            2) name straight-chain alkanes up to C6
            3) draw structural formulae for the isomers of the C1 to C5 non-cyclic alkanes
            4) draw structural formulae for straight-chain alkenes
            5) describe complete and incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons
            6) state the combustion of hydrocarbons is exothermic
        III. Other Functional Groups
            1) draw and name the seven functional groups:
                alkanal,
                alkanoic acid,
                alkanol,
                amide,
                amine,
                ester,
                halogenoalkane
            2) Explain that functional groups can exist as isomers
            3) discuss the existence of optical isomers
            4) discuss the volatility, solubility in water and acid-base behaviors of the seven functional groups
            5) describe the reaction of symmetrical alkenes with hydrogen, bromine, hydrogen halides
                and water
            6) Describe the polymerization of alkenes
            7) Describe the reaction of ethanol with ethanoic acid
            8) describe the oxidation of ethanol to ethanoic acid
            9) describe the formation of N-ethyl ethanamide from ethanoic acid
            10) describe the condensation polymers formed by alkanoic acids and amines
            11) describe the reaction of ammonia with bromoethane
            12) describe the formation of peptides and proteins from 2-amino acids
