Chemistry (New) Form 2 Syllabus

  1. Demonstrate mastery of basic concepts, theories and principles in Chemistry
    1. Demonstrate mastery of concepts, theories and principles in Chemistry
      1. Describe the modern concept of atomic structure (Dalton’s atomic structure and sub- atomic particles)
      2. Describe the concept of electronic arrangements
      3. Use the concept of atomic structure to determine the atomic and mass numbers of an element
      4. Explain the concept of chemical formulae and nomenclature (valence, oxidation state, radicals and naming of binary inorganic compounds using the IUPAC system)
      5. Determine empirical and molecular formulae of common compounds
      6. Describe the concept of chemical bonding (covalent and electrovalent bonding)
      7. Describe the concept of chemical reactions (chemical equations, balancing chemical equations, and types of chemical reactions)
      8. Relate the types of chemical reactions with common processes in daily life such as burning of fuel and digestion in living organisms
      9. Describe acids, bases and salts (reactions of acids and bases with various substances) and their applications in daily life
    2. Demonstrate an understanding of the physical and chemical properties of elements on the basis of their arrangements in the periodic table
      1. Explain the changes in the physical and chemical properties of elements across and down the periodic table
      2. Use the electronic configuration of an element to locate their positions in the periodic table
  2. Conduct experiments in Chemistry
    1. Conduct experiments in Chemistry
      1. Prepare acid- base indicators using locally available materials
      2. Use the prepared indicators to test acidity and alkalinity of substances found in the locality
