TPM Chemistry 2010 – Tips and Predictions for Papers 962/1 and 962/2

Prediction for STPM Chemistry 2010 Paper 962/1

Physical Chemistry

1. Chemical Bonding (2 – 5 questions / average ~ 3 questions).

2. Equilibria: Chemical Equilibrium, Ionic Equilibrium and Phase Equilibrium* (7 –
10 questions / average ~ 8 questions). In recent years (2005 -2009), this has
become a BIT that you must fully understand it. Usually involves calculations and
chemistry concepts.
3. Electrochemistry* (2 – 4 questions / average ~ 3 questions)

Organic Chemistry

1. Hydrocarbon* (2 – 5 questions / average ~ 4 questions)

2. Hydroxy Compounds (2 – 3 questions / average ~ 2 questions)
3. Polymer* (1 – 3 questions / average ~ 2 questions)

Inorganic Chemistry

1. Group 15: Nitrogen and its Compounds* (2-3 questions / average ~ 2 questions)
2. d-Block Elements* (2 – 3 questions / average ~ 3 questions)

Next Young Berries also need to revise on the following topics. These topics usually
consist of 1 – 2 questions.

Physical Chemistry

• Matter
• Electronic Structure of Atoms*
• The Periodic Table
• Reaction Kinetics

Inorganic Chemistry

• Group 14: C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb

• Group 17: Cl, Br, I

Organic Chemistry

• Haloalkanes
• Carbonyl Compounds
• Carboxylic Acids Derivatives
• Amino Acids and Proteins
* Important topics that has shown steady upward trend in appearance in STPM.

Prediction for STPM Chemistry 2010 Paper 962/2

This is tough to predict in this section because between the Year 2006 and 2009, all the
topics (Physical, Organic and Inorganic) are evenly distributed! One question is a
combination of two to three chapters! Try to be consistent in learning (good learning
habit) rather than last minute study. If you are doing the last minute study now, I would
advise you to memorise all the organic chemical equations. It would be very handy for
you!
