metalloids. Special names for Group 1 to 18.
3.2 Changes in physical properties of elements moving down the groups and
across the periods.
3.3 Changes in acidity of oxides across the period 3.
4.0 Chemical Bonding
4.1 Concept on ionic/ electrovalent bonding and covalent bonding. Using
Lewis structure to show the sharing and transferring of electrons in the
following examples: NaCl, MgO, CCl4, O2, N2, CO2 and etc.
4.2 General properties of ionic and covalent bonding.
4.3 Covalent dative bonding, metal bonding, hydrogen bonding and Van der
Waals forces.

including their compounds – nitrates, carbonates, sulphates, chlorides and
oxides.
5.2 Group 2 (focus more on Ca and Mg); physical and chemical properties
including their compounds – nitrates, carbonates, sulphates, chlorides and
oxides.
3. 5.3 Group 15 (focus more on N and P); physical and chemical properties
including their compounds (especially fertilizer) – ammonium sulphate,
ammonium nitrate, urea and phosphoric acid.
5.4 Group 16 (concentrate more on O and S); physical and chemical
properties including their compounds – SO2, SO3, H2SO4 and H2O2.

strong acid only (using the pH = - log [H+] and [H+][OH-] = 1.0 X 10-14
formula).
7.3 Calculations on volumetric analysis, neutralization and titration involving
acid and base; oxidizing and reducing agents.
