=** Essential Learning Outcomes **= Students will master the following standards through in-class lecture, homework, and lab work. Units are divided into related topics, where order and pace may vary according to student response to the material.

** After completing CP Chemistry students will be able to: **

 * ____A) interpret the structure of the Periodic Table and use it to obtain information **
 * ____B) classify a substance as an element, compound, or mixture **
 * ____C) analyze and compare physical and chemical properties of matter **
 * ____D) describe the composition of matter in terms of atoms and subatomic particles **
 * ____E) recognize how the configuration of electrons governs the chemical properties of an element **
 * ____F) compare nuclear changes such as fusion, fission and radioactive decay. **
 * ____G) explain how chemical bonding occurs and compare types of bonds **
 * ____H) illustrate how molecules are consistently arranged in geometric patterns **
 * ____I) describe how substances chemically react to form new substances with different properties **
 * ____J) apply the mole concept to the meaning and uses of chemical equations **
 * ____K) use stoichiometry to quantify relationships between products and reactants **
 * ____L) describe and apply principles that effect the rate of chemical reactions **
 * ____M) attribute a state of matter to its molecular arrangement and freedom of motion **
 * ____N) exemplify principles of ideal gas behavior **
 * ____O) analyze aqueous solutions in terms of concentration, colligative properties, and solubility **
 * ____P) exemplify basic acid/ base chemistry principles **
 * ____Q) calculate the energy relationships that occur during physical and chemical changes **

a. Describe the structure of atoms in terms of neutrons, protons, and electrons and the role of the atomic structure in determining chemical properties. b. Describe how the number and arrangement of atoms in a molecule determine a molecule’s properties, including the types of bonds it makes with other molecules and its mass, and apply this to predictions about chemical reactions. c. Explain the essential roles of carbon and water in life processes. d. Describe how light is emitted and absorbed by atoms’ changing energy levels, and how the results can be used to identify a substance. e. Describe factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions(including concentration, pressure, temperature, and the presence of molecules that encourage interaction with other molecules). f. Apply an understanding of the factors that affect the rate of chemical reaction to predictions about the rate of chemical reactions. g. Describe nuclear reactions, including fusion and fission, and the energy they release. h. Describe radioactive decay and half-life. i. Explain the relationship between kinetic and potential energy and apply the knowledge to solve problems. j. Describe how in energy transformations the total amount of energy remains the same, but because of inefficiencies ( //heat//, sound, and vibration) useful energy is often lost through radiation or conduction. k. Apply an understanding of energy transformations to solve problems. l. Describe the relationship among //heat//, //temperature// , and pressure in terms of the actions of atoms, molecules and ions,
 * D3 Matter and Energy**
 * 9-Diploma Students describe the structure, behavior, and interactions of matter at the atomic level and the relationship between matter and energy.**
