Chemistry Class 10 ICSE Syllabus 2025

CISCE has designed the Chemistry syllabus with the objective that students acquire the knowledge of concepts, terms, processes, techniques, and principles related to the subject. Additionally, it wants to inculcate in students the ability to apply the knowledge of principles and topics of chemistry in unfamiliar situations. Through this syllabus, CISCE aims to instill in students the skills necessary for safe handling of apparatus and chemicals, nurture a scientific mindset and problem-solving abilities, and deepen their awareness of the profound influence of chemical science on the environment, encompassing natural cycles, resources, and pollution.

Chemistry Paper

Total Marks: 100

Theory: 80

Time: 2 Hours 

Internal Assessment: 20 Marks

The theory paper will be divided into two sections, Section I (40 marks) and Section II (40 marks). Section I (compulsory) will contain short answer questions. Section II will consist of six questions out of which candidates will be required to answer any four questions. Internal will consist of the remaining 20 marks. 

Chemistry Class 10 ICSE Syllabus: Internal Assessment

Candidates will be required to observe how reagents and/or heat affect supplied substances. These exercises will be straightforward and may involve recognizing and identifying specific gases and ions listed below. Examiners, however, are not limited in their selection of substances containing these listed ions.

Gases: Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon dioxide, Chlorine, Hydrogen chloride, Sulphur dioxide, Hydrogen sulfide, Ammonia, Water vapor, Nitrogen dioxide.

Ions: Calcium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Zinc and Ammonium, Carbonate, Chloride, Nitrate, Sulphide,

Sulphite and Sulphate. Knowledge of a formal scheme of analysis is not required. Semi-micro techniques are acceptable but candidates using such techniques may need to adapt the instructions given to suit the size of the apparatus being used.

Candidates are expected to have completed the following minimum practical work:

1. Action of heat on the following substances:

(a) Copper carbonate, zinc carbonate

(b) zinc nitrate, copper nitrate, lead nitrate

Make observations, identify the products, and make deductions where possible (equations not required). 

2. Make a solution of the unknown substance: Add sodium hydroxide solution or ammonium hydroxide solution, make observations, and give your deduction. Warming the mixture may be needed. Choose from substances containing Ca2+ , Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Pb2+, Zn2+, NH4+

3. Supply a solution of dilute acid and alkali. Determine which is acidic and which is basic, giving two tests for each.

4. Add concentrated hydrochloric acid to each of the given substances, warm, make observations, identify any product, and make deductions: (a) copper oxide and (b) manganese dioxide.

Chemistry is not only an interesting subject but it is scoring as well. Go through the syllabus and prepare a study plan. Start studying. Once you finish the syllabus solve the previous year's questions paper to check your progress.
