About
Think of this as your express train to AP Chemistry mastery! We're diving deep into the foundational concepts of Atomic Structure (Unit 1), Molecular and Ionic Compounds (Unit 2), and Intermolecular Forces & Properties (Unit 3), and we'll keep pushing all the way until Electrochemistry (Unit 9). Because we're moving quickly, staying on track is key. We'll build concepts layer by layer, so each session is crucial.
To ensure you're truly grasping the material, I'll also be providing tests and assessments. Dedicate time to practice problems after each session—that's how we ensure you "stick the landing" on every topic!

Unit 3: Gases, Liquids, and Solids: A Journey into States of Matter (Building Bonds!)
This unit will explore the fundamental properties and behavior of gases, liquids, and solids, focusing on the underlying principles that govern their states of matter and the transitions between them.
Topics:
3.1 Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases:
Exploring ideal gas behavior and postulates.
Explaining gas properties based on the Kinetic Molecular Theory.
3.2 Pressure, Volume, Temperature, and Moles:
The ideal gas law and its applications.
Stoichiometry with gases.
3.3 Deviations from Ideal Gas Behavior:
Understanding why real gases don't always behave ideally.
The van der Waals equation.
3.4 Intermolecular Forces:
Exploring various types of forces and their strengths.
How intermolecular forces influence physical properties (e.g., boiling point and melting point).
3.5 Properties of Liquids:
Surface tension, viscosity, and vapor pressure.
Relationship of liquid properties to intermolecular forces.
3.6 Solids:
Crystalline vs. amorphous solids.
Types of crystals.
3.7 Phase Changes and Phase Diagrams:
Understanding the energy changes associated with phase transitions.
Interpreting phase diagrams.
Key Skills to Master:
Mastering the Ideal Gas Law and understanding its connection to intermolecular forces.
Your Mission After This Unit:
Practice, practice, practice! Gas laws, phase diagrams, and understanding intermolecular forces are essential to master. The more you practice, the better you'll understand the relationships between these concepts.
