Exploring Creation With Advanced Chemistry in Creation 2E Textbook

Exploring Creation with Advanced Chemistry, 2nd Edition by Jay Wile builds on foundational high school chemistry, offering a rigorous yet accessible deep dive into essential concepts for students ready to expand their scientific understanding. Designed as a follow-up to introductory courses like Exploring Creation with Chemistry, 3rd Edition, this textbook prepares learners for college-level studies through clear explanations, practical applications, and hands-on experimentation.

The course covers advanced topics such as stoichiometry (including limiting reactants), thermodynamics, kinetics, acid-base chemistry, and redox reactions, while also introducing organic chemistry fundamentals—functional groups, nomenclature, and polymer chemistry. Atomic structure, molecular geometry, and chemical equilibrium are explored in detail, alongside nuclear chemistry for a well-rounded perspective.

With 28 hours of laboratory exercises, students engage in meaningful experimentation, from analyzing iodine clock reactions and chromatography to exploring electrolysis and polymerization. These labs reinforce theoretical knowledge while developing critical lab skills.

Structured for high school students (grades 11–12), the softcover textbook integrates review questions, practice problems, and lab instructions, providing a self-contained learning experience. Its systematic approach balances depth with clarity, making complex concepts manageable for independent or classroom study.

Published by Apologia, this edition maintains the program’s commitment to excellence in science education, equipping students with the analytical tools and confidence needed for future academic success.
