Hi everyone! If you want to score over 90% in 2026 JAMB UTME Chemistry, then this write up is for you. Today, I’m going to share the top ten Chemistry topics you must read and exactly what you need to master in each.

1. Atomic Structure and Periodic Table
This is the foundation of Chemistry. Make sure you know atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, and how they are arranged. Learn electronic configurations and the trends in the periodic table, like electronegativity and atomic size.

2. Chemical Bonding
Here, focus on how atoms stick together. You need to know ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. Also, learn the shapes of molecules, like why water is bent and carbon dioxide is linear.

3. Stoichiometry and Mole Concept
This is all about calculations. Learn how to work with moles, molar mass, and balancing chemical equations. Practise calculating how much product or reactant you need in a reaction.

4. Acids, Bases, and Salts
Know the difference between strong and weak acids or bases. Learn how to calculate pH and understand simple reactions like acid + base → salt + water.

5. Organic Chemistry Basics
Don’t be scared! Focus on simple carbon compounds like alkanes, alkenes, and alcohols. Learn functional groups and how to name compounds.

6. Electrochemistry
Here, learn about electricity in Chemistry. Understand redox reactions, electrolysis, and galvanic cells. Practise simple electron transfer calculations.

7. States of Matter
Focus on gases, liquids, and solids. Learn gas laws like Boyle’s law and Charles’s law, and understand why gases behave differently from solids and liquids.

8. Chemical Kinetics
This is about reaction speed. Learn what affects the rate of a reaction – temperature, concentration, and catalysts. Simple understanding goes a long way here.

9. Thermochemistry
Learn how heat changes during reactions. Know what exothermic and endothermic reactions are and practise simple enthalpy and calorimetry calculations.

10. Environmental Chemistry and Water Chemistry
Finally, know some practical Chemistry. Learn about pollution, water treatment, and how to test water for hardness, acidity, or contamination.

My fellow Nigerian Students, if you master these areas, I guarantee you can score over 90%.
