Fully updated to cover the current CCEA AS Level Chemistry specification.Following the same content as the specification, the book is presented in full colour with over one hundred illustrations. The bright, clear layout will aid students’ understanding of the course. Over 600 questions and worked examples are provided throughout to reinforce learning and aid preparation for the exam. The answers are supplied. A Practical Assessment section is included to address the AS 3 Basic Practical Chemistry unit. The text is also supported by a glossary of terms, broken down by chapter.The book has been through a thorough quality assurance check by an independent Chemistry expert. The author, Wingfield Glassey, is experienced in the subject and currently teaches A Level Chemistry at a Northern Ireland grammar school.Contents:Unit AS1: Basic Concepts in Physical and Inorganic Chemistry1.1 – Formulas, Equations and Amounts of Substance1.2 – Atomic Structure and The Periodic Table1.3 – Chemical Bonding and Structure1.4 – Shapes of Molecules and Ions 1.5 – Intermolecular Forces1.6 – Oxidation and Reduction1.7 – Group VII: The Halogens1.8 – Volumetric Analysis1.9 – Qualitative AnalysisUnit AS2: Further Physical and Inorganic Chemistry and an Introduction to Organic Chemistry2.1 – Further Calculations2.2 – Organic Chemistry2.3 – Hydrocarbons: Alkanes2.4 – Hydrocarbons: Alkenes2.5 – Halogenoalkanes2.6 – Alcohols2.7 – Infrared Spectroscopy2.8 – Energetics2.9 – Equilibrium2.10 – Chemical Kinetics2.11 – Group II: The Alkaline Earth MetalsUnit AS3: Practical AssessmentAnswersGlossaryAppendix 1 – Specification MappingAppendix 2 – Working with Significant Figures
