A topic-by-topic G3 Chemistry revision map
This is your map of the whole K324 syllabus: the 12 topics, grouped into three sections, with a one-line focus for each and a link to a full guide. Use it to see what you've covered, spot the gaps, and plan a route through revision.

Section I — Matter, structures and properties
Experimental Chemistry — measurement, separation and purity. Atomic structure and the periodic table — particles, isotopes, shells, groups and periods. Chemical bonding — ionic, covalent and metallic, and how each explains properties. This section is the foundation everything else builds on, so lock it first.Section II — Chemical reactions
The mole concept and stoichiometry — the calculation core. Acids and bases and preparing salts. Qualitative analysis — identifying ions.Redox and electrolysis, the reactivity series and metal extraction, energetics, and rate of reaction. This is the largest section — pace it over several weeks.Section III — Chemistry in a sustainable world
Alkanes and alkenes and alcohols and carboxylic acids — the organic families. Air quality and pollution — pollutants, effects and how to reduce them. Sustainability is a section in its own right in K324, so give it real revision time, not a skim.Skills that cut across every topic
Three things earn marks everywhere: reading command words precisely, avoiding the common exam mistakes (units, significant figures, conventions), and the practical — the practical paper and how to plan an experiment. Build these alongside the content, not after it.
How to use this map
Work section by section: study a topic, then test yourself with exam-format questions before moving on. Mark each topic as secure, shaky or untouched, and revisit the shaky ones. A topic you can teach back in your own words is one you've actually learned — that's the bar to aim for.
Frequently asked questions
How many topics are in G3 Chemistry?
Twelve topics, grouped into three sections: matter and structures; chemical reactions; and chemistry in a sustainable world.
Which section is the biggest?
Section II (chemical reactions) — the mole concept, acids and salts, qualitative analysis, redox and electrolysis, reactivity, energetics and rate. Pace it over several weeks.
How should I plan my revision?
Lock the foundations (Section I) first, then work topic by topic, testing yourself with exam questions and revisiting whatever feels shaky.
What skills matter across all topics?
Reading command words precisely, avoiding unit/convention mistakes, and practical skill — build these alongside the content, not afterwards.
