Features: The International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) is a global competition for secondary school students in the field of chemistry. Its purpose is to showcase the level of chemical education in different countries, raise public awareness of chemistry, attract more young people to the field of chemistry, and create conditions for the cultivation and growth of outstanding students. To meet the needs of students at different levels and the needs of the same student at different stages of learning, the competition questions in this book are divided into three levels: A, B, and C. Group A questions are selected from the preliminary competition tests of various provinces. Students can start practicing and doing these questions from the first year of high school, combined with their chemistry course. Group B questions are selected from the national and provincial preliminary competition tests. Group C questions are selected from the National Winter Camp tests (i.e., the national Olympic final tests). This book focuses on analyzing and interpreting Group A and Group B questions, with a smaller proportion of Group C questions. It is recommended that students choose questions from different groups based on their own level when using this book. First, try solving them on your own, then compare your results with the answers and pay attention to using the thinking strategies and methods provided in the book to optimize your problem-solving skills. The unit exercises after each chapter and the simulated exercises marked with an asterisk () provide students with opportunities for practical practice and the ability to apply knowledge to different situations. This book includes selected questions and answers from various levels of chemical olympiad competitions. Here, sincere thanks are expressed to the sources of these materials for their contribution!
