Transition metals — Chemistry IAL Past Papers

60 papers, 2014–2025 · Unit 6, Unit 5

Every Chemistry IAL past paper in the collection that assesses transition metals.

By unit: all units (60) · Unit 5 (31) · Unit 6 (29)

• Unit 5: on 31 of 31 papers, 12–26 marks a paper (21 on average)
• Unit 6: on 29 of 29 papers, 3–23 marks a paper (8 on average)

Read question by question: blind checks found 112 of 120 question parts tagged with the right topic (95% confidence interval 87.4–96.6%). “needs (a)” names an earlier part the listed parts build on, and “then (c)” a later part that continues from them, so a question can be worked through whole.
