Welcome to Fundamental Chemistry

This area of A-Level Chemistry concerns itself with a great many things, including electron structure, bonding, and even some quantative chemistry for good measure. You will learn about all the fundamental concepts that provide explainations for and are auseful tool to go along with the rest of your study.

ParticlesFundamental particles (neutron, proton, electron) and mass spectrometry (ionisation, etc.).
Amount of SubstanceCalculations in chemistry learn about moles, ideal gas equation, RAM.
PeriodicityTrends across the periods in atomic radius, conductivity and electronegativity.
Group IITrends; reactions with water of alkaline earth metals; solubility of their hydroxides & sulphates.
BondingDifferent ways molecules stick together: ionic, covalent and metallic bonding; properties and how.
Intermolecular ForcesTypes of bonding between molecules: Van der Waals, dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding.
ElectronsElectrons arrangment, Hund's maximum multiplicity rule, ionisation energy.
States and ShapesMolecular and macromolecular molecules, bond angles, molecule shapes, electron pair repulsion.
