Our Introduction to Chemistry course will prepare students to continue their education in Chemistry by helping them build a foundational knowledge of atoms and matter: their structure, properties, and interactions. Focusing on topics that students typically struggle with, our course will provide exposure to many types of calculations, as well as step-by-step approaches to solving them. Our students will be equipped with the tools and the confidence to break down problems and apply chemistry concepts to the real world.
* You have 4 weeks to complete this course from date of your enrollment.
Chemistry Helper training course content
The Chemistry Helper training course consists of 4 modules:
Chemistry Helper Module 1 Chemistry As a Science
Module one will begin by covering the basics of chemistry as a science: matter, chemical and physical changes, measurements, and atomic structure.
- Matter Classification and Phases
- Chemical and Physical Changes
- Measurements and Calculations
- Atomic Theory
- Periodic Table: Elemental Symbols, Electron Configuration
Chemistry Helper Module 2 Bonds, Compounds, and Formulas
In module two, you will build on the basics of module 1 by learning about bonds, molecular structure, and the basics of chemical formulas. Our examination will include naming and formula-writing.
- Ionic and Molecular Bonds
- Naming Ionic Compounds
- Naming Molecular Compounds
- Molecular vs. Empirical Formulas
- Writing Chemical Formulas
Chemistry Helper Module 3 Reactions and Stoichiometry
With your knowledge of bonds, reactions, and formula-writing, module three will guide you through classifying and balancing reactions. We will then examine stoichiometry.
- Balancing Chemical Reactions
- Oxidation/Reduction Reactions
- Nuclear Reactions
- Stoichiometry
- Molar Conversions
Chemistry Helper Module 4 Gases, Acids, and Bases
In this last module, we will examine the gas law. Additionally we will take a look at acid and base solutions.
- Gas Pressure
- Gas Laws: Boyle’s, Charles’s, Dalton’s, Combined, Graham’s, Ideal
- Properties of Acids and Bases
- Naming Acids
- Titration Reactions
After completing the Chemistry Helper training course
After completing the Chemistry Helper training course, you should be able to:
- Differentiate between types of matter and chemical bonding/reactions
- Name compounds, write formulas, and balance chemical equations
- Define and apply gas laws
- Understand solutions, properties of acids and bases, and titration reactions
- Perform calculations using appropriate conversions, units, and formulas
Course duration
The Chemistry Helper training course is 24 hours long, taught over 4 weeks.
