Chemistry As

AS Chemistry; designed for exams from June 2014 onwards.
Questions are targeted for the AQA AS award 1421 and A level 2421 (Unit 1 and Unit 2), but is more that suitable for other specifications (please see the topic list below). Multiple modes target your learning, with explanations of correct answers (and Scheme of work reference).
