About the Kerala SSLC Chemistry Exam
Kerala SSLC Chemistry covers Class 10 secondary chemistry under Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan with SCERT Kerala syllabus support. Content prioritises SCERT Basic Science Chemistry chapters: Periodic Table and Electronic Configuration; Mole Concept; Rate of Chemical Reactions and Chemical Equilibrium; Reactivity Series and Electrochemistry; Production of Metals; Nomenclature of Organic Compounds; Chemical Reactions of Organic Compounds; and Chemistry for Human Progress as notified for the year. Official assessment is mixed TE (~40) + CE (~10) for about 50 marks total, with theory typically about 1.5 hours — not multiple choice alone. English and Malayalam media are commonly available; SCERT 2026 model papers exist on scert.kerala.gov.in. This free English MCQ bank builds concept and calculation fluency (including mole and n-factor style numericals) before students practise official model papers and CE/lab skills using resources from SCERT Kerala, Pareeksha Bhavan, and the Directorate of General Education.
Exam sponsor: Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan / Directorate of General Education, Government of Kerala (syllabus support: SCERT Kerala). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
Official Kerala SSLC Chemistry assesses Class 10 SCERT Chemistry through a theory paper lasting about 1.5 hours (as notified), typically with objective-type questions plus short and long answer sections, plus Continuous Evaluation (CE) through the school. Public reporting commonly describes about TE 40 + CE 10 (total ~50). Confirm the current scheme and notification for section weights and internal choice. English and Malayalam media are commonly available. This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation of that written syllabus — it does not fully simulate the official multi-component TE/CE format or Malayalam-medium papers.
Time Limit
Typically about 1.5 hours for the official SSLC Chemistry theory paper as notified on the Pareeksha Bhavan / SSLC timetable. CE components are scheduled separately through the school.
Passing Score
Pass/promotion criteria follow Pareeksha Bhavan grading notifications; candidates typically need about a D+ band (~30% aggregate of TE+CE as applicable) and about ~30% in theory (TE). Confirm the current circular rather than unofficial fixed percentages.
Exam / Certification Fees
Included in the SSLC examination fee schedule paid through the school (or as notified for private/improvement candidates). Exact rupee amounts vary by year and candidate category; check the latest fee notification from Pareeksha Bhavan / Directorate of General Education rather than unofficial fixed quotes.
Exam sponsor websiteFees, eligibility, and exam policies can change. Confirm them with the exam sponsor before applying or paying.
Our practice resources: topics covered
We aim to reflect publicly available exam outlines and topic information in our study resources. Coverage, format, and difficulty may differ from the actual exam, and we cannot guarantee that every detail is accurate or current. Confirm exam requirements, fees, and policies with the official exam sponsor.
Periodic Table and Electronic Configuration
Groups, periods, s/p/d-block placement ideas, electronic configuration, and periodic trends in size, ionisation, and character.
Mole Concept
Mole–mass–particle conversions, molar volume at STP, limiting ideas, n-factor/equivalent mass, and balanced-equation stoichiometry.
Rate of Chemical Reactions and Chemical Equilibrium
Rate factors, catalysts, reversible reactions, equilibrium constant ideas, and Le Chatelier shifts with temperature/pressure/concentration.
Reactivity Series and Electrochemistry
Metal reactivity order, displacement, galvanic cells, electrolysis of molten/aqueous electrolytes, and corrosion basics.
Production of Metals
Ore types, concentration, reduction paths for iron/aluminium/copper, and refining methods.
Nomenclature of Organic Compounds
Chain length, functional groups, prefixes/suffixes, and naming simple saturated/unsaturated and oxygen-containing organics.
Chemical Reactions of Organic Compounds
Addition vs substitution, combustion, alcohol oxidation, esterification, saponification, and simple organic tests.
Chemistry for Human Progress
Soaps/detergents, polymers, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals overview, and sustainable chemistry applications in daily life.
