Why students choose this course book

• It follows the Cambridge O Level Chemistry content in a logical order: particle theory first, then atoms and bonding, calculations, electrochemistry and energetics, reactions, the Periodic Table, metals, the environment and organic chemistry.
• Numbered sections (for example 4.3 “Moles and compounds” or 8.3 “Methods of preparing soluble salts”) make it easy to revise one topic at a time and to match a topic to a past-paper question.
• The “Scientific enquiry” section at the start supports the practical-skills part of the course.
• Pair it with the workbooks and past papers we stock for O Level subjects — message us and we will suggest the matching titles.
