Course Description
Welcome to Grade 10 Chemistry Module 2, an engaging and comprehensive course designed to deepen your understanding of chemical principles and their real-world applications.
This module provides a comprehensive introduction to electrochemistry and their practical applications. Students will explore the occurrence and extraction of some important metals and nonmetals and their properties. They will investigate hydrocarbons and their natural sources. This module prepares students for advanced chemistry studies and real-world applications.
Course Objectives
At the end of this module students will be able to:
- describe energy changes in chemical reactions;
- describe the three types of Voltaic cells;
- explain the difference between electrolytic cells and voltaic cells
- develop skills in writing the oxidation half-reaction, reduction half-reaction, and cell reaction for the electrolysis of molten electrolytes that occur in electrolytic cells;
- describe the extraction, chemical properties, and uses of aluminum, iron, copper, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, sulfur, and chlorine;
- describe the general properties of metals and nonmetals;
- discuss the historical development of organic chemistry;
- classify organic compounds;
- write the general formula of alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes;
- name simple alkanes, branched-chain alkanes, simple alkenes, branched-chain alkenes and simple alkynes;
- write the molecular and structural formula of simple alkanes, branched-chain alkanes, simple alkenes, branched-chain alkenes, and simple alkynes;
- explain isomerism;
- draw the possible isomers of alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes;
- explain the physical and chemical properties; and the general methods of preparing alkanes; alkenes, alkynes, and benzene.
