The objective of this study is to study the intellectual practices of scientists candidates in chemical reactions, kinetic molecular theory, phase balances, thermochemistry and thermodynamics. This is why the research is a type of cutting-edge scan. The study included 210 (180 women, 30 men) students registered in the Science and Information Education Program of the Faculty of Education of the University of Fırat. The chemical subjects of the Mind Execution Test, developed by Cloonan and Hutchinson (2011) in the study, have been used as a means of data collection of chemical reactions, kinetic molecular theory, phase balances, thermochemistry and thermodynamic sections. The study found that most of the science knowledge teachers candidates had incorrect mental behaviors in relation to chemistry subjects studied in this study. The study concluded that the participants had a low mindset on the chosen subjects and that the test materials were difficult for this study group. In the framework of the findings obtained in the study, researchers who wish to work in the field have been given a number of recommendations on their mental practices on chemical issues included in the study scope.

The aim of this study is to investigate the reasoning of science teacher candidates on chemical reactions, kinetic molecule theory, phase equilibrium, thermochemistry and thermodynamics. Therefore, the study is of cross-sectional screening. 210 (180 Female, 30 Male) students enrolled in the Science Teaching program of the Faculty of Education of Fırat University participated in the study. In this study, thechemical reactions, kinetic molecule theory, phase equilibrium, thermochemistry and thermodynamic sections of the Chemistry Subjects Reasoning Test developed by Cloonan and Hutchinson (2011) were used as data collection tools. As a result of the study, it was determined that most of the science teacher candidates had inaccurate reasoning about the chemistry subjects studied in this study. In the study, it was found that the participants' reasoning about selected subjects was low and the test items for this study group were difficult. Within the framework of the findings of the study, some suggestions were made to the researchers who wish to work in this field in the future about their reasoning about chemistry subjects included in the study.
