Because of the organization of the College Board outline, several topics which are treated together in our AP course are fragmented in different sections of this outline. So this course calendar replaces the "time range" usually given for course objectives.

- Review students on Atomic Theory, atomic mass, atomic number, mole concept
- Stoichiometry, balancing equations, empirical formulas, limiting reactants
- Naming compounds, ionic and molecular species
- 2nd week of Sept - 4th week of Sept.
- Gases - Laws of gases, equations of state for an ideal gas, partial pressures
- Gases - Kinetic Molecular Theory, interpretation of gas laws, kinetic energy dependence on temperature, deviations from the ideal gas law
