Description: Chemistry has been written specially for students following the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. The book exactly follows the syllabus order: the main sections within chapters refer to the syllabus subtopics, and the the latest syllabus requirements are covered in full. This is invaluable in helping teachers to design a course that suits their own individual circumstances, and for students when the time comes for revision.
The text is is written in straightforward language, uncluttered by phrases or idioms that might confuse students for whom English is a second language; the depth of treatment of topics carefully reflects the objectives and action verbs in which the syllabus assessment statements are phrased. Self-assessment questions appear throughout each Topic, not only reinforcing learning but also familiarizing students with the assessment implications of the action verbs. There is also extension work, to stretch the more able students. Theory of Knowledge (TOK) links appear at appropriate points in most Topics and offer opportunities for cross-curriculum study. There are also History of Chemistry, Language of Chemistry, Applications of Chemistry, Chemical Demonstration and Chemistry and Literature sections throughout the book.
Topics are covered in syllabus order, so students and teachers can see exactly how the latest requirements of the syllabus are covered. Clear and detailed explanations provide students with an accessible yet comprehensive coverage of all Standard and Higher Level topics as well as all seven Options. Self-assessment questions throughout each Topic, and sample IB Exam questions at the end ensure students are familiar with the requirements of the syllabus (including action verbs) and provide thorough exam preparation. The text has been written from an international perspective and includes sections on the History, Language and applications of Chemistry as well as providing Theory of Knowledge (TOK) links.
