Chemistry Program DP

The document outlines the chemistry curriculum for the Diploma Programme (DP), dividing it into core topics and additional higher level (AHL) topics. The core covers 95 hours and includes 11 topics such as stoichiometry, atomic structure, bonding, energetics, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, redox processes, and organic chemistry. The AHL covers 60 more hours and includes 6 additional topics like transition metals and reaction mechanisms. Fifteen hours are also dedicated to an optional topic area of materials, biochemistry, energy or medicinal chemistry.
