What does IGCSE Chemistry cover?
IGCSE Chemistry covers states of matter, atomic structure, chemical bonding, moles and formulae, electrochemistry, energetics, rates of reaction, equilibria, acids and bases, the periodic table, metals, air and water, organic chemistry and practical skills.
What organic chemistry topics appear in IGCSE?
IGCSE Chemistry includes alkanes, alkenes (addition reactions, polymerisation), alcohols and carboxylic acids. These organic topics are less extensive than A-Level but require understanding of molecular structures, functional groups and reaction types.
What is the IGCSE Chemistry mole concept?
The mole concept involves calculating masses, volumes and concentrations of chemical reactants and products using relative atomic masses and molar volume. It is consistently one of the highest-difficulty topics in IGCSE Chemistry Papers 4 and 6.
