Introduction
This Diploma Programme (DP) Chemistry data booklet accompanies the DP Chemistry guide and
DP Chemistry teacher support material. It contains chemical and physical equations and constants,
chemical symbols, the periodic table, and other chemical data relevant to the course.
Students must have access to a copy of this booklet for the duration of the course, so that they
can become familiar with its contents. Direct reference is made to relevant equations in the
“Understandings” sections of the guide. This helps to maintain the emphasis on interpretation and
application rather than memorization of symbols, constants and equations.
Each student must have access to a clean copy of the Chemistry data booklet during examinations.
It is the responsibility of the school to download a copy of this booklet from IBIS or the Programme
Resource Centre and to ensure that there are sufficient copies available for all students.
