Chemistry — Grade 10

The Grade 10 chemistry story from the ground up: what matter is made of, how particles move, what lives inside an atom, and how the periodic table organises everything. CAPS-aligned (Physical Sciences chemistry strand), every idea in two modes — a rigorous Theory mode and an intuition-first Visual mode — with worked examples from South African kitchens, taps and mines, plus practice with hints and full solutions.

What you'll learn

  • Classify matter as elements, compounds or mixtures, and choose a physical method to separate a mixture
  • Use the kinetic molecular theory to explain the three states of matter and changes of state
  • Describe the structure of the atom and read atomic number, mass number and isotopes from notation
  • Relate an element's position on the periodic table to its electron arrangement
  • Tell a physical change from a chemical change, and use the mole to connect mass to number of particles

Before you start

  • Grade 9 Natural Sciences: particle model of matter, elements and the periodic table intro
  • Grade 9 Mathematics: multiplying and dividing decimals; reading a simple formula
