Molecules: Lectures in General Chemistry .

I. Introduction

As Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) welcome the graduates of the Senior High School
program, it is of paramount importance to align Functional Skills set by DepEd with the College
Readiness Standards stated by CHED. The DepEd articulated a set of 21st century skills that should
be embedded in the SHS curriculum across various subjects and tracks. These skills are desired
outcomes that K to 12 graduates should possess in order to proceed to higher education, employment,
entrepreneurship, or middle-level skills development. General Chemistry | is a Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Specialized Subject taken in the first half of Grades 11/12.
Learners go on a journey geared toward the deeper understanding and appreciation of. Composition,
structure, and properties of matter; quantitative principles, kinetics, and energetics of transformations
of matter; and fundamental concepts of organic chemistry. They will also apply basic chemistry and
physics principles as they examine the transformation of energy in organisms

II. Scientific Notation and Significant Figure

Scientific Notation reflect on frequent numbers that occur in physics and other sciences

III. Problem solving on Conversion

IV. Atoms, Ions, and Molecules

All the matters can be broken into elements; Matter is the Stuff around You. ... Matter is everything
around you. Atoms and molecules are all composed of matter. Matter is defined as anything that has mass
and takes up space, it is the amount of stuff in an object according to Antione Laurent Lavoisier matters are
neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. These are Three Important Laws;

 Law of Conservation of Mass ( Antoine Lavoisier)

 Law of Definite Proportion ( Joseph Proust)
 Law of Multiple Proportion (John Dalton)
