Chemistry
Cambridge A Levels · Code: 9701
Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table
This topic forms the fundamental basis of all chemistry, explaining why elements behave the way they do based on their subatomic particles and electron arrangements.
Chemical Bonding and Structure
Understand how atoms join together to form everything around us, from the salt on your table to the air you breathe.
Energetics and Thermodynamics
This topic explores the energy changes that accompany chemical reactions, determining whether they are feasible and how much heat they release or absorb.
Chemical Kinetics and Reaction Rates
This topic explores the speed of chemical reactions, the factors that control them, and the step-by-step pathways reactions take.
Chemical Equilibria
Master how reversible reactions achieve a dynamic balance and learn to predict how they respond to changing conditions.
Electrochemistry and Redox
This topic explores the crucial link between chemical reactions and electricity, from the principles of batteries and corrosion to large-scale industrial electrolysis.
Acids, Bases and pH
Master the principles of proton transfer, pH calculations, and buffer systems to excel in your A Level Chemistry exams.
Introduction to Organic Chemistry
Master the fundamental language of organic chemistry, from drawing and naming molecules to distinguishing between different types of isomers.
Hydrocarbons: Alkanes, Alkenes and Arenes
Master the reactions of saturated, unsaturated, and aromatic hydrocarbons, from the free-radical chaos in alkanes to the elegant substitutions of benzene.
Functional Group Chemistry
Master the reactions, mechanisms, and interconversions of key organic families, from halogenoalkanes to amines, to excel in your A Level Chemistry exams.
