Chemistry

Course summary

This course is part of a highly successful department with committed tutors to help you achieve the highest grade possible. You will take part in regular practical sessions to help you develop your lab techniques and evaluative skills. There will also be opportunities to take part in Chemistry Society activities and competitions. What you will study ● Inorganic and Physical Chemistry e.g. how to calculate the pH of solutions and how storage and fuel cells work. ● Organic Chemistry e.g. how to synthesize organic molecules and the study of their functional groups and how they react. ● Analytical Chemistry e.g. how chemists use infra-red spectroscopy to work out which functional groups are in the molecule. ● Regular practical sessions are closely linked to the theory taught in lessons. This proves an effective way of developing your grasp of the theoretical concepts covered.
