IMAT Chemistry preparation
See every Chemistry topic in the official syllabus and how to practise it.
15 questions in the latest completed official format.
Use the syllabus as your checklist.
Chemistry covers matter, atoms, bonding, stoichiometry, solutions, equilibrium, acids, redox and organic chemistry. Learn the concepts and practise the calculations.
Learn one topic, practise it, then review every mistake.
Based on the latest completed MUR 2025/2026 syllabus. Read the official syllabus.
⚗️Why Chemistry matters
Chemistry had 15 of 60 questions in the latest completed official format. It mixes theory with short calculations, so both knowledge and method matter.
Use the syllabus as your checklist. Learn the idea, practise the question type, then review the exact mistake you made.
📘IMAT Chemistry syllabus: topics to study
These are the Chemistry areas named in the latest completed MUR syllabus.
⚗️ Matter and gases

- Ideal gas laws
⚛️ Atoms and the periodic table
- Elementary particles, atomic number, mass number, isotopes and electronic structure
- Groups, periods and transition elements
- Atomic radius, ionisation energy, electron affinity and metallic character
- How electronic structure relates to periodic position and properties
🔗 Bonding and inorganic compounds
- Ionic, covalent and metallic bonding; bond energy
- Bond polarity, electronegativity and intermolecular forces
- Nomenclature and properties of oxides, hydroxides, acids and salts
🧮 Reactions, moles and solutions
- Atomic and molecular mass, Avogadro's number and the mole
- Basic stoichiometry, simple equation balancing and reaction types
- Water as a solvent, solubility and concentration units
⚖️ Equilibrium, acids, redox and kinetics
- Equilibrium in aqueous solutions
- Chemical kinetics and catalysis
- Oxidation numbers, oxidising and reducing agents, and simple redox balancing
- Acids, bases, pH, hydrolysis and buffer solutions
🧪 Organic chemistry
- Carbon bonds, molecular and structural formulas, and isomerism
- Aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons
- Alcohols, ethers, amines, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids
- Esters, amides and basic nomenclature
Practise IMAT Chemistry questions.
Make calculations feel less random.
Use topic practice and explanations to get more comfortable with Chemistry theory, calculations and common exam traps before full IMAT simulations.
🧪How to study Chemistry
Use the same three-step cycle for every topic. Once the main topics feel familiar, move to mixed sets and full simulations.
Study routine
- Learn: understand the rule, formula and key terms.
- Set it up: write units, formulas and calculation steps clearly.
- Review: separate concept, formula, unit and arithmetic mistakes.

🎯Weekly Chemistry plan
Work through the syllabus in small blocks. Keep one short list of formulas, units and mistakes to revisit each week.
What to do each week
- Learn: study two or three related topics.
- Practise: answer theory and calculation questions.
- Review: redo mistakes and finish with a mixed set.
Official source baseline
The final 2026/2027 content decree is still pending. Until it is published, this page uses the latest completed official sources: the MUR 2025/2026 decree, Chemistry syllabus and the 2025 English paper. MUR has published a 2026/2027 test notice, but says the detailed content will follow in a later decree.
