Introduction
The worst problem you can have while doing A-level chemistry is catching fire
If this happens shout for help. Because you're looking for help on my website, I'm guessing fire isn't your problem. For help with problems that aren't fire, use the notes and websites below. Or you can return to Chemistry or Ben-jah-min or Benjamin-mills.com.

Salters Advanced Chemistry
This is the chemistry AS and A2 course taught at Sharnbrook. I've made a list of the units (topics) and added links to all the stuff I used to learn them.
AS topic-by-topic
A2 topic-by-topic

The Basics
These are straightforward rules about how molecules spread out like an octopus trying to stop its tentacles touching one another. To keep you entertained I've included drugs
I'm bored! Show me "substances"
You need this: Chime plug-in
What shape are molecules?
How do I work out the shape of a molecule?

Inorganic
At university, chemistry happens in three flavours: physical, organic and inorganic. You ever looked at the periodic table and said "what happens if we put all those elements together"? Inorganic chemistry is that sort of mucking around.
Complex ion? What's that?
What shape are complex ions?

Organic
Ahhh organic. It's all about the vice: booze, hormones, blood, food, headache tablets, perfume, PVC, nylon stockings, glow-in-the-dark dummies. In fact all the ingredients for a good night out involve what organic chemistry studies.
How do I make nylon?
What are amines? What are amides?
What are designer polymers?
Proteins? Aaarghhh!
More proteins? Aaarghhh again!
Teach me to speak protein
Tell me about reaction mechanisms

Physical
It's very hard to decribe what physical chemistry is, mostly because it speaks a language called maths. Most often it talks about how hot, how tough, what shape and where that electron's gone.
Learn some physics first
