Chemistry 2 (Academic)



Course Description:

This course is designed to equip learners with the knowledge and skills to explain the various intermolecular forces of attraction that influence the physical properties of substances. Drawing on the electronic structure of carbon and the types of bonds it forms, learners are able to explain the diversity of organic compounds. The course also enables learners to explore the characteristics of key biomolecules found in living organisms—such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids—and relate their properties to their biological functions. Additionally, learners develop the ability to write balanced chemical equations for reactions occurring in the environment, biological systems, and industrial processes. They gain a fundamental understanding of the Law of Conservation of Mass as the basis of mass relationships in chemical reactions, appreciate the importance of balancing chemical equations and perform calculations to determine quantities of reactants and products based on the mole concept. The lessons can be applied in environmental science, community-based issues, and industrial processes especially relating them to green chemistry and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

Graduation Symbols: The Toga, The Hood, The Cap and The Diploma

A graduation ceremony is a very important event that any dedicated student looks forward to. It is the culmination of the minimum twelve years spent in studying and training to prepare oneself for the challenges of the world beyond the walls of an educational institution. It is one of the rites of passage that students are eager to cross, officially leaving their status as minors and setting out into the real world as adults. The traditional graduation attire is composed of a toga or gown, a hood and a cap. The diploma, which best completes and makes official the graduate status of a student, is awarded to each graduate later in the ceremony. Each of these articles symbolizes an important meaning surrounding the educational success of a graduate. The Toga Each educational institution usually has its own design and variation of the graduation toga, although all of them are basically similar. High school and college togas are long and reach just below the knee; high school togas are oft...
