Concept mapping is a powerful visual tool that helps you link key ideas, processes, and relationships across IB Chemistry topics. Start with a central concept (like equilibrium or enthalpy) and build outward using arrows, keywords, and subtopics.

Use it to:

• Connect related ideas across topics (e.g. kinetics ↔ equilibrium ↔ thermodynamics)

• Identify gaps in your understanding

• Visually organise complex processes like reaction mechanisms or spectroscopic analysis

• Prepare for data-based in 1B.

To help you with this, use the excel spreadsheet to answer questions which link together in different topics. These are taken from your IB Guide,
