How the ICSE Class 9 Chemistry paper is set
Class 9 students in 2026-27 follow the CISCE syllabus for the ICSE 2028 examination. For Class IX Chemistry it sets one paper of two hours carrying 80 marks, plus 20 marks of internal assessment of practical work. The written paper covers 8 units, in this order:
- The Language of Chemistry
- Chemical Changes and Reactions
- Water
- Atomic Structure and Chemical Bonding
- The Periodic Table
- Study of the First Element: Hydrogen
- Study of Gas Laws
- Atmospheric and Environmental Chemistry
Our 8 chapter pages split these units into textbook-sized chapters, so you can revise one topic at a time. The other 20 marks are for practical work, marked out of 20. The syllabus lists work such as:
- the action of heat on given compounds
- flame tests to identify a metal
- simple experiments on hard and soft water
- double displacement reactions
- finding the sources of pollution in local water bodies
What changed in the ICSE 2028 Chemistry syllabus
CISCE published the Examination Year 2028 syllabus in January 2026. Compared with the 2027 document, for Class IX:
- Added: the Rutherford and Bohr models of the atom, colloids, oxidation and reduction in terms of electrons, water purification, water pollution (including the Minamata case) and double displacement reactions.
The questions on every chapter page are checked against this syllabus. Read the full document: ICSE 2028 Chemistry syllabus (PDF, CISCE).
Why these Chemistry questions help
- Balanced equations and correct formulae are quick, guaranteed marks.
- Mole-concept and stoichiometry numericals repeat and reward practice.
- 'Give a reason' and identification questions test real understanding.
Class 9 Chemistry exam tips
- Balance every equation and add state symbols and conditions.
- Practise mole-concept sums until the method is automatic.
- Memorise key tests, colours and observations exactly as the scheme wants.
- When a chapter still will not click, let the Classmate AI tutor walk you through it step by step.
