Abstract : Chemistry knowledge in students refers to the understanding of the fundamental concepts and principles of chemistry, including the structure and properties of matter, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, kinetics, chemical equilibrium and other related topics. Students acquire theoretical and practical knowledge to understand and apply chemical principles in experiments, data analysis and problem solving in the field of chemistry. Objective: To examine the scientific literature on chemistry knowledge in high school students through a systematic review of the last 5 years. Methodology: A systematic literature review was conducted from 2019 to 2023, in Scopus, Pubmed and Web of Science, following the PRISMA method statements. The inclusion criteria were empirical articles published in English and Spanish. Results: 15 articles were selected, indicating that knowledge of chemistry in high school students is essential to develop a deep understanding of matter and the transformations that occur in it. They provide a solid foundation for scientific and technological careers and foster critical thinking. Conclusion: chemistry knowledge in students refers to the understanding of the fundamental concepts of chemistry, including the structure and properties of matter, chemical reactions, stoichiometry and other principles. This knowledge enables students to apply chemistry in practical situations and to develop analytical and problem-solving skills in this scientific field. The depth and breadth of knowledge may vary according to the educational level and interest of the students.
