Course summary

We all do chemistry every day! As soon as you wake up in the morning, you start doing chemistry. Chemistry explains why an egg changes when you fry it and why your non-stick pan is non-sticky. Chemistry explains how soap and shampoo make you clean, why you feel tired before coffee and alert after it, and how the petrol in your car gets you to work. Chemistry is about the molecules all around us. It is about matter: specifically how matter changes. You will be familiar with many topics such as atomic structure, the mole, rates of reaction and equilibria from GCSE and we will develop your understanding of these further, and introduce new concepts such as enthalpy, entropy and redox.
