A Level Chemistry Revision Guide
A Level Chemistry Revision Guide is a revision handbook that closely follows the Cambridge International AS & A Level Chemistry course. It sets out all three strands - physical, inorganic and organic chemistry - in a clear, easy-to-reference way.

About this guide
Every topic includes equations, reaction mechanisms, diagrams and worked examples so students understand the underlying chemistry rather than memorising it by rote. Chemical calculations are worked through step by step to build quantitative problem-solving skills.
It is a powerful resource for the revision period, helping students consolidate the theory and get ready for both the theory and practical papers.
What is inside
- Atomic structure, chemical bonding and molecular shapes
- Chemical calculations: moles, concentration and reaction yield
- States of matter, energetics and thermochemistry
- Chemical equilibrium, rates of reaction and acids and bases
- Redox reactions and electrochemistry
- Inorganic chemistry: periods, groups and the transition elements
- Organic chemistry: functional groups, reaction mechanisms and synthesis
- Analysis, spectroscopic techniques and practical laboratory skills
Who this guide is for
- Students taking Cambridge International AS & A Level Chemistry
- Students preparing for A Level Chemistry for admission to medicine, pharmacy or engineering programmes
- Students who need to practise chemical calculation problems in English
- Teachers and tutors who need a summary aligned to the syllabus
- Self-study learners who want to master organic reaction mechanisms
How to use this guide
- Revise the theory of each topic and memorise the important equations and reaction mechanisms
- Practise mole, concentration and yield calculations thoroughly, step by step
- Redraw organic conversion diagrams to memorise the reaction sequences
- Build a table of the properties of the groups and elements to compare them easily
- Work through practical and analysis questions to prepare for the experiment paper
- Do timed practice papers, then check the solutions to fix your mistakes
Questions about this guide
Does the book cover organic chemistry and reaction mechanisms in detail?
Yes. It presents organic chemistry fully by functional group, with reaction mechanisms and synthesis diagrams, closely following the requirements of Cambridge Chemistry 9701.
Does the book support the practical paper?
Yes. It includes analytical skills, spectroscopic techniques and laboratory practical work to prepare for the course's practical paper.
