What will you study?

1. Atomic structure

2. Mass number and isotopes

3. Electron configuration

4. Relative atomic mass and relative molecular mass

5. The ideal gas equation

6. Empirical and molecular formula

7. Balanced equations and associated calculations

8. Ionic bonding

Who is the course suitable for?

If you choose to pursue a career in dentistry, veterinary science, medicine, chemistry-based grades like pharmacology, biochemistry and pharmacy, then chemistry is what are you will need. An A-level in chemistry can also lead to a good salary in later life.
