Cambridge AS Level Chemistry 9701 is a comprehensive reference book designed to assist students in their preparation for the Cambridge AS Level Chemistry 9701 exam. This book covers key topics such as atoms and ions, bonding, chemical equilibria, organic compounds, and spectroscopy, among others.
With its concise and accessible format, this reference book serves as a valuable supplement to official textbooks and study materials. It provides a thorough review of the syllabus, incorporating the headings and subheadings from the official syllabus to ensure comprehensive and accurate coverage of the content.
Written by an experienced educator, this book is based on a deep understanding of the syllabus and past exam questions. It aims to help students gain a deeper understanding of chemistry and feel confident in their exam preparation.
The book begins with a thorough exploration of atoms and ions, including topics such as isotopes, atomic theory, and ionization energy. It then delves into the concepts of bonding, covering ionic, metallic, and covalent bonding, as well as intermolecular forces and molecule shapes.
The discussion then moves on to chemical equilibria, oxidation-reduction reactions, and the factors affecting the rate of chemical reactions. It also explores the properties and variations of atoms and ions, including the periodic trends of elements and the characteristics of group 2 elements and halogens.
Next, the book covers the basics of organic compounds, including organic reaction types, isomerism, and the properties of different organic molecules. It also delves into specific organic compounds such as alkanes, alkenes, and alcohols, providing a comprehensive understanding of their structures, properties, and reactions.
The book concludes with a discussion on polymerization by addition, organic synthesis, and spectroscopy techniques such as infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
