Designed for GCSE students preparing for NEAB exams in 1997/98, this textbook covers all four Chemistry modules, and is thus suitable for both the modular and the co-ordinated science syllabus. It follows the content of the syllabus, and includes checklists, key points, and short questions which focus on the examination content of the modules. These are followed by specimen questions (for each module) for the 1997/98 module tests and exams.

 

This book is part of a book series called Modular Science For Gcse .

There are 208 pages in this book. This book was published 1997 by Oxford University Press .

This book has the following chapters: Part 1 Module - metals: why are metals so useful?; which metals are most reactive?; how are metals extracted from the ores?; do metal and non-metal compounds have different properties? Part 2 Module - earth materials: why is limestone such a useful material?; what types of rocks are there, and how were they formed?; where does oil come from and how is it used?; what effect does burning fossil fuels have on the atmosphere?; why have all mountains on earth not worn away by now? Part 3 Module - patterns of chemical change: how can we speed up or slow down reactions?; how can we use living things to do our chemistry for us?; do chemical reactions always release energy?; how do chemists produce fertilizers?; how do we know how much to use in chemical reactions? Part 4 Module - structures and bonding: how can materials change state?; what happens when elements react?; how can we explain the different properties of substances?; how can chemical elements be grouped into families?; how can we explain similarities between elements in the same group?; what use are metal halogen compounds?; what do chemical symbols, formulae and equations mean?
