Chemistry is often referred to as a central science as it combines physics, biology and mathematics It can help us to explain biological and physical phenomena that cannot be understood through one science alone.

Topics studied in the syllabus include:

• Atomic Structure
• Bonding
• Halogens
• Alkali Earth Metals
• Alkanes
• Organic Analysis
