High School Chemistry (Algebra)

Partially released · 34%
An algebra-based high-school chemistry course. This course requires algebra, and is a great introduction to quantitative chemistry. After completion, you will be able to carry your knowledge and skills directly into AP Chemistry or General Chemistry I - and start about 30-40% through those courses.

Aligned to 19 TAC §112.43 Chemistry TEKS strands: scientific practices, periodicity, atomic theory, bonding, chemical quantities, reactions, gases, solutions, acids and bases, thermochemistry, and nuclear chemistry.

TEKS alignment: Coverage follows Texas Chemistry TEKS expectations for scientific practices and chemistry concepts.

TEKS Chemistry Learning Outcomes

Periodic Table and Trends

TEKS c(5)
Connect the development of the periodic table to recurring chemical and physical properties.
Use valence-electron patterns and periodic trends to compare chemical families and predict elemental properties.

Atomic Theory and Electron Structure

TEKS c(6)
Trace the development of atomic theory and describe atoms and ions in terms of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Connect light, emission spectra, isotopic composition, electron configurations, and Lewis dot structures to modern atomic models.

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

TEKS c(7)
Use periodic trends to predict ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding and relate each bonding type to substance properties.
Name compounds and use chemical formulas, electron dot structures, and VSEPR models to represent composition and molecular geometry.

Moles and Chemical Formulas

TEKS c(8)
Use the mole and molar mass to convert between measurable samples and numbers of particles.
Calculate particle counts, percent composition, empirical formulas, and molecular formulas to account for matter in chemical substances.

Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry

TEKS c(9)
Interpret, write, and balance chemical equations and distinguish acid-base, precipitation, and oxidation-reduction reactions.
Use mole ratios, stoichiometry, and limiting-reactant reasoning to relate reactants to products.

Gases and Kinetic Molecular Theory

TEKS c(10)
Use kinetic molecular theory to connect particle motion and collisions to observable gas behavior.
Describe and calculate pressure, volume, temperature, amount, ideal-gas relationships, and partial pressures.

Solutions and Solubility

TEKS c(11)
Explain water's role as a solvent and compare electrolytes, nonelectrolytes, and unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated solutions.
Analyze solubility, dissolution rates, solubility rules, molarity, and dilution in quantitative solution problems.

Acids and Bases

TEKS c(12)
Name acids and bases, compare Arrhenius and Brønsted-Lowry definitions, and distinguish strong and weak acids and bases.
Predict neutralization products and use hydrogen-ion concentration and pH to describe acidic and basic solutions.

Thermochemistry

TEKS c(13)
Apply the laws of thermodynamics to familiar chemical and physical processes and analyze heat transfer using calorimetry data.
Classify endothermic and exothermic processes and calculate heat, mass, temperature change, and specific heat.

Nuclear Chemistry

TEKS c(14)
Represent alpha, beta, and gamma decay with balanced nuclear equations.
Compare fission and fusion and connect nuclear phenomena to medical, energy, and other real-world applications.
