Chemistry
GCSE Chemistry explains the material world. Students study atomic structure and the periodic table, bonding, quantitative chemistry, chemical and energy changes, rates, organic chemistry, analysis, the atmosphere and resources. Mapped to AQA, Edexcel and OCR.
Topics in Chemistry
Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table
Chemistry starts with the atom. This topic covers atomic structure, isotopes, and the development and trends of the…
Explore →Bonding, Structure, and Matter
Bonding explains properties. This topic covers ionic, covalent and metallic bonding and the structures they form.
Explore →Quantitative Chemistry
Chemistry is measured precisely. This topic covers conservation of mass, moles, reacting masses and concentrations.
Explore →Chemical Changes
Reactions transform substances. This topic covers reactivity, acids and bases, neutralisation and electrolysis.
Explore →Energy Changes
Reactions release or absorb energy. This topic covers exothermic and endothermic reactions and reaction profiles.
Explore →The Rate and Extent of Chemical Change
Speed and balance matter. This topic covers rates of reaction, collision theory, catalysts and reversible reactions.
Explore →Organic Chemistry
Carbon builds endless compounds. This topic covers hydrocarbons, crude oil, fractional distillation and polymers.
Explore →Chemical Analysis
Identifying substances is key. This topic covers purity, formulations, chromatography and tests for gases and ions.
Explore →Chemistry of the Atmosphere
Chemistry shapes the climate. This topic covers the evolution of the atmosphere, greenhouse gases and pollution.
Explore →Using Resources
Chemistry sustains modern life. This topic covers using resources sustainably, water treatment and life-cycle assessment.
