This SEO dataset combines Page 1 metadata and Page 2 repaired OCR content for Chemistry Paper I (IFoS Main 2023). Page 1 provides exam metadata, instructions, constants, and paper identifiers. Page 2 (Section A) presents several long-answer prompts spanning quantum numbers, Born-Haber cycle calculations, unit cell ion counts in FeO, thermodynamic relations, ionic atmosphere, and electrochemical vs diffusion currents, plus a wavelength problem. The repair reconstructs numbered questions across potential two-column layouts, preserves sub-parts, and ensures one numbered item per line in text, with descriptive parts for non-MCQ items. The SEO output combines metadata, an objective_questions_preview array, and extensive FAQ, topics, tags, and image SEO to optimize discovery.
