Državna Matura Chemistry study plan

Draw Lewis structures, determine VSEPR geometry and molecular polarity for at least 25 species spanning main-group halides, oxoacids and simple organics.

Classify bonding as ionic, covalent polar/nonpolar or metallic and justify each classification with electronegativity differences and lattice-energy reasoning.

Balance at least 15 redox and non-redox equations in acidic and basic media and identify the oxidant and reductant in each.

Compute masses, moles, limiting reagents and percentage yield for 10 multi-step stoichiometry problems without a calculator aid.

Calculate enthalpy changes from formation enthalpies, bond enthalpies and Hess cycles for at least 12 reactions and state the sign conventions explicitly.

Interpret and sketch simple energy-profile diagrams distinguishing kinetic control from thermodynamic control.

Apply Le Chatelier's principle qualitatively to 10 equilibrium scenarios involving pressure, temperature and concentration changes.

Write and use equilibrium constant expressions (Kc, Kp) and calculate unknown concentrations from given K values.

Name and draw at least 30 organic compounds using IUPAC rules across alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carbonyls, carboxylic acids and esters.

Identify functional groups and predict the principal reaction type (substitution, addition, elimination, oxidation, esterification) for each given substrate and reagent.

Distinguish structural isomers, stereoisomers and conformers for at least 8 molecular formulas and assign E/Z and R/S where relevant.

Outline reaction pathways linking simple hydrocarbons to alcohols, aldehydes, acids and esters in a single scheme.

Describe the structure and role of the four major biomolecule classes (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids) with one specific example of each and its monomer or building block.

Explain condensation and hydrolysis reactions for peptide and glycosidic bond formation and predict the products of given hydrolysis reactions.

Relate periodic trends (atomic radius, ionisation energy, electronegativity, electron affinity) to position in the periodic table and justify anomalies (e.g. first ionisation energy of group 13 vs 2).

Predict properties and reactions of s-block, p-block and transition-metal elements, including amphoteric behaviour and characteristic colour or precipitation tests.

Calculate pH, pOH and concentrations for strong and weak acids and bases, including buffer systems, using Ka, Kb and the Henderson-Hasselbalch relationship.

Sketch and interpret titration curves for strong-strong, weak-strong and polyprotic systems and identify equivalence and buffer regions.

Apply solubility product (Ksp) and common-ion effect calculations to at least 6 precipitation problems.

Assign oxidation states and predict electrode reactions; write cell notation and calculate standard cell potentials for given half-cells.

Apply the Nernst equation and Faraday's laws to calculate cell potential under non-standard conditions and mass deposited during electrolysis.

Design a controlled experiment distinguishing independent, dependent and controlled variables, and identify sources of systematic and random error.

Read and interpret tabular and graphical data (calibration curves, rate plots, titration data) and extract gradient, intercept and uncertainty.

Report results with correct significant figures, units and an explicit conclusion tied to the hypothesis.

Complete two full-length timed mock papers under exam conditions and record per-domain scores.

Categorise every error by cause (knowledge gap, misreading, calculation slip, time pressure) and rank the three weakest sub-topics.

Re-derive the five most frequently missed formulas or rules from first principles without notes.

Rewrite weak-topic notes into condensed cue cards covering only the identified gaps.

Re-solve every logged error from week 7 and confirm each is now correct without reference material.

Complete three short (30-minute) mixed drills weighted toward the heaviest domains (2, 4, 5) and maintain accuracy above 80%.

Rehearse exam timing by allocating minutes per question type and practising structured answer formatting for calculation questions.

Consolidate all cue cards into a single final revision set covering formulas, periodic trends, functional groups and equilibrium rules.
