Full coverage of each topic and sub-topic

Introduction

This section is effectively an interactive text book that provides complete coverage of the whole of the IB Diploma chemistry syllabus (Core, AHL and Options) at both Standard Level and Higher Level. Each sub-topic is covered fully by its own page. The pages are given in the same order as the topics are listed in the IB syllabus but remember that your teacher may well cover the topics in a different order and may teach different parts of a topic at different times rather than covering each topic completely before moving on to the next. As you work through each sub-topic try to understand the underlying chemistry and try to make links with other topics, i.e. see chemistry holistically rather than just a collection of stand-alone topics.

Format of each sub-topic page

Each topic is broken down into its individual sub-topics. with a common format.
