Stage 1 — General Chemistry icon Stage 1 · 12 rounds

General Chemistry

The essential concepts needed to understand every other branch of chemistry: matter, atoms, elements, the periodic table, bonding, reactions, solutions, acids and bases, equilibrium, and thermodynamics.

1

Basics of Chemistry

Build a strong foundation in core concepts, lab safety, scientific measurement, and running experiments.

2

The World of Matter

Matter's properties, transformations, and states — plus atoms, elements, compounds, and mixtures.

3

Inside the Atom

Atomic theory, waves, quantum theory, photons, and how electrons interact with energy.

4

Exploring the Periodic Table

How elements are organized, periodic trends, and electron behavior.

5

The World of Chemical Bonds

Chemical bonding, molecular shapes, and the forces that hold atoms and molecules together.

6

Understanding Chemical Compounds

Naming, measuring, and analyzing compounds — introducing the mole.

7

Chemical Reactions & Calculations

How substances change during reactions, and how to calculate those changes.

8

The World of Gases

Kinetic Molecular Theory and the gas laws that explain how gases behave.

9

Solutions & Solubility

How substances dissolve and mix — solubility, solubility rules, and concentrations.

10

Acids, Bases & pH

Measuring acid/base strength — pH, conjugate acids and bases, and titrations.

11

Chemical Equilibrium

How reactions balance forward and reverse — plus Le Châtelier's Principle.

12

Energy & Reaction Rates

The laws of thermodynamics and why some reactions happen faster than others.
