Chemistry

Recognise the pattern before you calculate.

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.

Study map

Build the subject in connected blocks.

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.

01

Atomic Structure, Periodicity & Bonding

Atoms, isotopes, electronic structure, periodic trends, ionic/covalent/metallic bonding and intermolecular forces.

02

Stoichiometry, Gases & Solutions

Moles, balancing, limiting reagents, gas laws, concentration, solubility and solution calculations.

03

Acids, Equilibrium, Kinetics & Redox

pH, buffers, aqueous equilibria, rates, catalysts, oxidation states and redox reasoning.

04

Organic & Inorganic Chemistry

Nomenclature, major inorganic classes, hydrocarbons, isomerism and the functional groups listed in the IMAT syllabus.

Starter lessons

Useful lessons, not a content dump.

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.

Chemistry · Starter lesson

Titration Errors

Track exactly how an experimental error changes the calculated result.

Chemistry · Starter lesson

Periodic Trends

Use electron structure to predict radius, ionisation energy and metallic character.

Chemistry · Starter lesson

Redox & Organic Functional Groups

Build the theory questions that recent IMAT papers can favour.

Practice that teaches

Apply the concept immediately.

Question → reasoning → trap

The subject page should always lead somewhere actionable. Students learn a concept, answer a question, then understand why the distractor was tempting.

Commit firstLock the answer before feedback.
Explain the mechanismMake the reasoning transferable.
Expose the trapShow the misconception behind the distractor.

A sealed rigid container contains O₂. Helium is added at constant temperature. What happens to the partial pressure of O₂?
A. It increases because total pressure rises
B. It is unchanged ✓
C. It decreases because helium dilutes oxygen
IMAT trap: Partial pressure depends on n(O₂), T and V. None of those changed.
