Submitted as part of the California Learning Resource Network (CLRN) Phase 3 Digital Textbook Initiative (CA DTI3), CK-12 Foundation’s Chemistry - Second Edition FlexBook covers the full course of chemistry topics taught in high school. This digital textbook was reviewed for its alignment with California content standards. The 25 chapters cover measurement in chemistry, matter and energy, the atomic theory, Bohr model of the atom, chemical periodicity, behavior of gases, acid and bases, stoichometry, covalent bonds and formulas, electron configuration of atoms.
Experiment with conductivity in metals, plastics and photoconductors. See why metals conduct and plastics don't, and why some materials conduct only when you shine a flashlight on them.

Inorganic chemistry is a division of chemistry that studies metals, their compounds, and their reactivity. Metal atoms can be bound to other metal atoms in alloys or metal clusters, to nonmetal elements in crystalline rocks, or to small organic molecules, such as a cyclopentadienyl anion in ferrocene. These metal atoms can also be part of large biological molecules, as in the case of iron in hemoglobin (oxygen-carrier protein in the blood). Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: Describe nuclear charge and calculate effective nuclear charge in terms of Slater's rules; Demonstrate an understanding of trends in the periodic table; Describe the bonding between atoms in terms of valence bond theory; Describe inorganic structures by using valence shell electron pair repulsion theory; Identify the nomenclature rules of coordination compounds; Demonstrate an understanding of crystal structures, lattice energies, and different types of unit cells; Explain the electronic structure of solids, the concept of band gap energy, and how this band gap determines the electronic properties (insulator, conductor, and semiconductor) of solid materials; Describe general trends in the reactivity of elements within Groups I through VII.

Mesoscopic physics is the area of Solid State physics that covers the transition regime between macroscopic objects and the microscopic, atomic world. The main goal of the course is to introduce the physical concepts underlying the phenomena in this field.
