The result showed that the Basic Chemistry topics include: material and its' change, atomic structure, periodic system of elements, chemical bonding and molecular structure, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid and base, hydrolysis, buffer, colligative properties, colloid, redox and electrochemistry, elemental chemistry, and organics chemistry. Data were collected by questionnaire and documentation. The object was Basic Chemistry topics, the materials that are difficult for the students and their cause, lectures constraint in learning, and lectures view about learning based on inquiry.
The subjects were a syllabus, two lectures, and 43 students of the Third Semester in Academic Year 2018/2019 on Science Education Study Program, Ganesha University of Education. The research aimed to need analysis of developing Basic Chemistry learning tools based on inquiry.
