Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Form 4 Chemistry Schemes of Work Term 3 2025. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  This scheme of work is designed for use with the K.L.B. Chemistry Book IV as its primary reference text. The curriculum for the term is divided into two major topics: Organic Chemistry II and Radioactivity.

  The topics and their corresponding sub-topics outlined in the document are:

  • Organic Chemistry II (Alkanols & Alkanoic Acids)
    • Alkanols: Exploring their physical and chemical properties, including esterification and oxidation, as well as their uses and health effects.
    • Alkanoic Acids: Covering nomenclature, laboratory preparation, physical and chemical properties, and uses.
    • Soaps and Detergents: Describing the laboratory preparation of soap, its cleaning action, the effects of hard water, and an introduction to soapless detergents.
    • Polymers: Explaining addition and condensation polymerization and the properties of synthetic polymers.
  • Radioactivity
    • Defining radioactivity, nuclides, and radioactive decay.
    • Studying the properties of Alpha (α) particles, Beta (β) particles, and Gamma (γ) rays.
    • Writing and balancing nuclear equations for radioactive decay.
    • Understanding and calculating radioactive half-life, including plotting decay curves.
    • Differentiating between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.
    • Exploring the various applications of radioactivity in fields like medicine and industry.
