This IGCSE Chemistry guide book contains useful topical notes based on Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry syllabus. The guide book is suitable for students taking the core as well as the extended syllabus. The notes are written in a concise manner for self-study and revision. These topical study notes highlight key learning points of the topics and some worked examples, particularly on calculations, are included in the guide book. The topical notes are also illustrated with graphics, diagrams and graphic organizers to enhance the learning of abstract chemistry concepts and cater to visual learners. Chemical names and compounds used in the study guide are limited to those required for the IGCSE Chemistry syllabus.
In the guide book, there are a wide range of questions organized according to topics to facilitate students’ learning and revision. There are multiple-choice questions as well as structured questions to prepare the students for the IGCSE chemistry examinations. The practice questions illustrate the chemistry theories concretely and allow students to apply the principles in various aspects to acquire good understanding of the subject. Step-by-step work solutions are included to guide students to correct their mistakes. The worked solutions will also help the students understand what an examiner is looking for in an answer.
