You can get some ideas off this website from the tabs at the top, they should set the ball rolling!

Write about why the subject interests you and why you want to do it.

Have you read any articles that relate to chemistry that made you think and were interesting?

I'd also read a couple of books; I found "Nature's Building Blocks: An A-Z Guide to the Elements" quite a good read & also watched "Chemistry: A Volatile History" which together made a whole paragraph of my PS.

Maybe focus in on one part of the subject that really interests you in one paragraph? Also talk about chemistry overall, why it interest you, why you want to do chemistry not biology or maths or physics...

Any relevant work experience is also good - even if it's just you've helped in lower school science classes or something.

Also a paragraph away from your chosen subject is good - you have to appear well rounded!

Hope that helped somewhat! Feel free to message me!

In addition to what's been said above, you can also write about experiences in chem that you've enjoyed. For example, I had to do an investigation as part of my A-Levels and I wrote about what aspects of that I enjoyed. This can be good stuff for conversation during interviews =)
