Topics include:
Unit 1 - Working as a chemist
Unit 2 - Bonding and redox reactions
Unit 3 - Inorganic chemistry, quantities and energy in reactions
Unit 4 - Organic chemistry
Unit 5 - Modern analytical techniques, kinetics and equilibrium
Unit 6 - Equilibria and lattice energy
Unit 7 - Entropy, further redox and transition metal chemistry
Unit 8 - Kinetics, chirality and carbonyl compounds
Unit 9 - Carboxylic acids, arenes and amines
Unit 10 - Organic synthesis and modern analytical techniques
