2. Law of proportion.
3. Chemical equations
WEEKS 7, 8, 9, & 10 CHEMICAL COMBINATION
The emphasis will be on the following:
1. Periodic table (first 20 only) and electron configuration of atoms.
2. Types of bonds and strong bonds; electrovalency (10nic), covalent, coordinate (dative) bonds and metallic bounds.
3. Weak bonds — hydrogen bonds and Vander Waals forces.
