The bad news is that organic chemistry is kind of a big topic! So we’re going to split it up into the main topics you need to learn for GCSE, namely alkanes, alkenes and and the cracking of crude oil. … Read More

The rate or speed of a reaction can measure how much product is being formed in a specific time. The rate of a reaction can change as a result of changes in temperature, concentration, pressure and the presence of catalysts. … Read More

As the title would suggest, in this section we’re going to examine the role that energy plays in chemical reactions and how a reaction is able to impact energy. First thing to learn, energy cannot be made or destroyed – … Read More

In this section we’re going to focus on the changes that occur during chemical reactions and how this impacts an element. So to start with let’s take a look at word and symbol equations. Word equations can be less descriptive … Read More

The atmosphere on Earth is extremely complex, and there are millions of reactions taking place all the time, so there is quite a lot to learn in this section! But thankfully it’s not too complex. The early atmosphere was mainly … Read More
