SCH3U – Chemistry – Grade 11
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of the properties of chemicals and chemical bonds; chemical reactions and quantitative relationships in those reactions; solutions and solubility; and atmospheric chemistry and the behavior of gases. Students will further develop their analytical skills and investigate the qualitative and quantitative properties of matter, as well as the impact of some common chemical reactions on society and the environment.

Outline of Course Content
In this introductory unit, students will explore the career paths available for them as students of science. They will also learn the fundamentals of lab safety and WHIMIS.
Students will develop an understanding of the structure of an element that allows us to predict its physical and chemical properties. They will investigate the physical and chemical properties of compounds based on the type of chemical bond formed. The appropriate use of chemicals will be examined in order to minimize the risks to human health and the environment.
In this unit, students will investigate different types of chemical reactions and demonstrate an understanding of the different types of chemical reactions. They will also analyze chemical reactions used in a variety of applications and assess their impact on society and the environment.
