Chemistry Grade 12 (University)

The Grade 12 Chemistry University Preparation course (SCH4U) is designed to deepen students' understanding of chemistry through five core units: organic chemistry, structure and properties of matter, energy changes and rates of reaction, chemical systems and equilibrium, and electrochemistry. Students explore topics like molecular structures, chemical bonding, reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and redox reactions, with practical applications such as building environmentally friendly batteries. The course emphasizes problem-solving, laboratory skills, and scientific communication, highlighting chemistry’s role in daily life and its environmental impact. It prepares students for university-level studies by refining their ability to analyze chemical processes and evaluate technological implications. Prerequisites include Grade 11 Chemistry (SCH3U).
