Expected Topics And Approach To JAMB Chemistry Question 2022
JAMB Chemistry questions are easy to pass if one can pay close attention to some important topics in chemistry. There are topics in UTME chemistry syllabus that are repeatedly seen in JAMB questions.
In this page I will list those topics that every candidate writing JAMB UTME chemistry should pay close attention.
Table of Contents
Expected Topics in JAMB Chemistry
- Separating techniques
- How to determine empirical formula
- Balancing of equation
- Acid, Base, and Salt (Physical and Chemical properties, Neutralization rxn)
- PH Scale
- Isotopes
- Electronic configuration
- Gas Law
- Redox reaction
- Rate of chemical reaction (Le Chatelier’s principle)
- Carbon and its compound
- Hydrogen and its compound
- Nitrogen and its compound
- Sulphur and its compound
- Allotropes
- Aromatic and Aliphatic Hydrocarbon (Alkane, Alkene, Akyne, Benzene)
- Isomerism
- Alkanol
- Alkanoic
- Esterification
- Hardness of water
- Saponification
The above topics are grouped under organic, physical, and industrial chemistry.

Many students believe that chemistry is volatile and that is reason you need to adequately prepare to be able to score above 70 in it.
It is important that you know the chemical properties, physical properties, and laboratory preparation of no 11 – 14. Also naming of hydrocarbon and their differences and balancing of redox reaction are equally important. I have discovered that candidates who pay close attention to these areas in chemistry always perform well in the exam.
