Chemistry

Course summary

• The course is divided into three sections: Organic , Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. It builds upon the foundations of GCSE Chemistry and extends it to include: • How Chemistry relates to industry, including chemical calculations • Synthesis of organic compounds and their reaction mechanisms • Reactivity patterns in the Periodic Table, analytical techniques and basic Biochemistry • How to carry out a range of essential practical techniques. The course is intensive and requires a strong element of independent study. You will need to learn a significant body of work and apply this both qualitatively and quantitatively. Therefore, it is vital that you have a good grasp of mathematics. You need to be an independent student with the ability to problem solve.
