This course will involve completing a whole range of different experiments as well as developing your own skills in communication and team work. Chemistry also requires a lot of calculations, so you will have to like working with numbers and equations. The course is divided into 3 sections: -Physical Chemistry -Inorganic Chemistry -Organic Chemistry The course follows on from GCSE starting with foundation topics of atomic structure and bonding, moles and equations, the periodic table and chemicals from oil. Further topics are introduced including: energetics, kinetics, redox reactions, group 2 and 7 elements and more organic chemistry. Many of these topics are developed further in year 2 with some new areas including: acids and bases, transition metals, and organic analysis and synthesis. This course provides a good foundation for students who wish to study chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, dentistry and many other science related courses in higher education. It is also always a requirement for those wanting to study Medicine or Veterinary Science.
