Prerequisites: B- average in Honors Chemistry I or A- average in Chemistry I.

Chemistry II is designed as a second-year high school chemistry course, ideal for a student likely to pursue a career in a STEM-related field.  It is a college preparation course to help students understand the basic principles of inorganic chemistry and demonstrate the ability to use that understanding in the solution of mathematically based laboratory and textbook problems as well as everyday situations.  Chemistry II areas of study include principles of thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, nuclear chemistry, electrochemistry, kinetics, atomic structure, periodicity, gases, intermolecular forces, and solution chemistry including acids and bases.
