Abstract

The concept of chemical bonds is one of the subject matter of high school chemistry class X. This study aims to describe the mastery of the concept of chemical bonds in class X students of SMA Negeri 4 Palangka Raya in 2017/2018 Academic Year. This research is a descriptive qualitative research. The subjects of this study were 29 grade X students of SMA Negeri 4 Palangka Raya in 2017/2018 Academic Year who had received chemical bonding learning materials. The data used in this study are RPP documents obtained from the teacher concerned.
