Level 3 Chemistry
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr D. Pollock.
Lots of experiments, study oxidants, reductants, spectroscopy, bonding, periodic trends, organic chemistry
In this course, you will learn about oxidants and their opposite, reductants and how these are used in society. We will also cover Spectroscopy which is a range of techniques used to analyse substances in order to determine their exact composition. The external standards cover how particles bond and react, as well as the trends of the periodic table. The remaining topic is about Organic Chemistry; learning about functional groups and how they are named and react.
