Chemistry

This subject explores key chemical reactions and the properties of important elements and their compounds. It begins with the rate of reaction, where students will learn about factors affecting reaction speed, such as temperature, concentration, and catalysts. This is followed by exothermic and endothermic reactions, focusing on heat energy changes in chemical processes. The study of chemical equilibrium will introduce students to reversible reactions and the factors influencing equilibrium positions.

The course then shifts to the chemistry of essential elements. Students will explore oxygen and its compounds, followed by chlorine and other halogens, examining their properties, reactions, and uses. The study continues with nitrogen and its compounds, highlighting their importance in biological and industrial processes. Finally, students will learn about sulphur and its compounds, including their occurrence, properties, and applications. This course provides a strong foundation in chemical principles and the practical significance of elements in everyday life.
