Abstract

Experimental results indicating the existence of special abilities in chemistry were reported, with chemistry interpreted as the science about substances and their transformations in accordance with the classical definition. It was shown that the key component of abilities in chemistry is a learner’s particular attitude to a substance. The possibilities of diagnosing schoolchildren’s abilities in chemistry were discussed. Promising directions for further psychological and educational research concerning the abilities in chemistry were considered.
