Here is a list of all of the topics covered in General Chemistry 1. These topics may differ from school to school however, these are the majority of the topics. I've never been able to find a list like this on google before so that's why I've added it. I've also added it to keep myself on track as these are all the topics I would like to eventually add under General Chemistry 1.
If you are looking to learn about chemistry outside of a classroom I would recommend openstax free textbooks. These textbooks are 100% free and great resources.

I know this seems like a lot. However, many of these topics are very brief or relatively easy to understand. General Chemistry 2 has fewer topics but they are more complicated and go more in-depth.
