Where are you guys up to in Chemistry?

[VivaTequila]

Not sure if there are any other VCE Texts, but we use Heinemann Chemistry 2 (I don't know any schools that don't).

As of the end of term one, Mentone Grammar has covered everything up to Chapter 13, which we are expected to look at over the holidays. Most schools seem to be midway through carbon chemistry, at around chapters 9-10, so I feel we are going a tad too fast, especially considering that we briefly skimmed over all of chromatography and only did a little of NMR/Mass Spec.

Where are you guys up to?

[Greatness]

NMR, but we've done a fair bit of organic chem already

Same. NMR and we've done a bit of year 11-standard organic. We did 3 SACs on aspirin... so I don't think we will need to revisit that!!

Moderator action: removed real name, sorry for the inconvenience

[Mr. Study]

Chemistry class up to Chapter 9 - Compounds of Carbon but since it's holidays might as well get up to Chapter 14 - From organic molecules to medicines.   

Holiday homework to do one practice exam.

[cohen]

My chemistry class is up to ch 7, we've finished chapter 9 though.
Personally, im up to chapter 10, and hopefully will finish rest of unit 3 these holidays

[Christiano]

My class in particular had its last lesson on Infrared .. chapter 7, with nothing done beyond that.

Although personally I'm starting carbon chemistry with a bit of luck and motivation over the holidays.

Suffice to say, we are screwed.

[nemolala]

we finished the whole unit three when term one ended

on heinemann too

[thushan]

Finished everything except NMR and IR. We don't go by the textbook though.

[dooodyo]

@ Nacho: wow in year 10 

Lol Which school is this ?

[thushan]

I bet you it's McRob I know they finish Jap 3/4 in year 11 and then just do practice exams in year 12.
