Quantum mechanics comes next using the acclaimed Doo-wop Board as a teaching aid. Next comes a discussion of how atoms become charged (ionization) followed by an explanation of how charged atoms make compounds. The mole is introduced next followed by a discussion of chemical reactions. Stoichiometry (predicting amounts of product produced from a reaction) is treated next followed by a discussion of solutions (molarity). The course is wrapped up with a discussion of the ideal gas laws. Please note that this is Volume 2 of the Teachers Edition intended for use with one student.
