Chemistry preparation should mirror the official IMAT syllabus: broad enough to cover theory, but efficient enough to recognise the relationship before doing calculations. Recent papers can shift between conceptual and numerical emphasis, so both matter.
These blocks are mapped to the 2026 MUR IMAT syllabus (Allegato A). We will expand depth inside these boundaries rather than adding impressive-sounding but irrelevant material.
Atoms, isotopes, electronic structure, periodic trends, ionic/covalent/metallic bonding and intermolecular forces.
Moles, balancing, limiting reagents, gas laws, concentration, solubility and solution calculations.
pH, buffers, aqueous equilibria, rates, catalysts, oxidation states and redox reasoning.
Nomenclature, major inorganic classes, hydrocarbons, isomerism and the functional groups listed in the IMAT syllabus.
Lessons will be concise, exam-focused and followed by application. Any advanced detail is included only when it clarifies a syllabus concept or reflects genuine IMAT-style reasoning.
Track exactly how an experimental error changes the calculated result.
Use electron structure to predict radius, ionisation energy and metallic character.
Build the theory questions that recent IMAT papers can favour.
The subject page should always lead somewhere actionable. Students learn a concept, answer a question, then understand why the distractor was tempting.
Start with a short set, review the explanation, and let the result decide what to study next.
