Unit 2 is an introduction into Chemistry. We will look into how
Chemistry is organized and learn some general ideas that will be used
all year. Chapter 5 in this unit will be a look at how to solve
mathematical problems which is a central concept in Chemistry. This is
an important topic as practically all of the relationships we will study
are
described with a formula.
The chapters for this unit are Chapters 1, 2 and 5 in our book.
