Chemistry For Grade 10

Introduction

Grade 10 chemistry introduces students to more advanced chemical concepts, including mole counts, reaction rates, and equilibrium. The study of thermochemistry explains heat transfer in reactions, while electrochemistry covers oxidation-reduction reactions and electrolysis. Topics in organic chemistry include alkanes, alkenes, and polymers. Students investigate the properties and uses of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids, as well as environmental issues such as greenhouse gases and acid rain. Laboratory experiments enhance practical skills, deepen understanding, and promote scientific inquiry.
