The complete IB DP Chemistry syllabus, redesigned as a modern teaching resource. Eleven units across four themes — foundations, reactivity, structure, organic — every lesson, every key term, built for clarity.
The chemistry course is organised around four conceptual themes. Foundations gives you the toolkit; Reactivity is where reactions happen; Structure explains why; Organic applies it all to carbon.
The starting toolkit. Atoms, moles, and the practical skills every chemist needs before reactions can be understood.
Where everything starts. Electrons in orbitals, protons in nuclei, and a periodic table that explains chemistry from a few simp…
A mole is six hundred and two billion trillion of something. Get this counting trick right and quantitative chemistry falls int…
The lab is where chemistry is. Measurements, errors, uncertainty, and the practical work that anchors every concept in this cou…
Reactions in motion. How fast, how far, how energetic — the chemistry of change.
Some reactions take microseconds. Some take centuries. The same molecular collisions, with very different consequences.
Energy never disappears. Reactions only go where the entropy wins. Two laws that decide what's possible in chemistry.
Reactions where electrons change hands. Batteries, corrosion, biology — all redox, all the time.
Sour, bitter, conductive, corrosive. Proton transfer reactions explain pH, buffers, indicators and titrations.
The architecture of matter. Why elements behave as they do, and what holds matter together.
Carbon, in all its compounded glory. From functional groups to the spectra that identify them.
Carbon makes more compounds than every other element combined. Get the families, get the mechanisms, get the names.
Reactions, mechanisms, and the spectroscopy that tells you what you've made. Organic chemistry, with the answers.
