Chemistry VCE Units 1&2

VCE Chemistry Units 1 and 2 provide an introduction to the fundamental principles of chemistry and lay the groundwork for more advanced studies.

• Unit 1: How Can the Diversity of Materials Be Explained?
  In this unit, students explore the composition of different substances, the atomic structure, the periodic table, and the chemical bonding that determines the properties of materials. They investigate how chemical reactions occur and how different elements and compounds interact.

• Unit 2: What Makes Water Such a Unique Chemical?
  This unit focuses on water as a solvent and its unique properties. Students study solutions, acids, bases, and the chemical reactions that occur in aqueous environments. They also investigate the environmental and industrial significance of water chemistry.

Both units emphasize practical experiments, data analysis, and problem-solving skills, helping students understand the real-world applications of chemistry.
