A-Level Chemistry's Best Kept Secrets‪!‬

A-Level Chemistry's Best Kept Secrets! aims to inter-link and integrate different concepts and topics and it is written with the latest syllabus in mind. With effect from 2017, there would be a change in the A-level syllabus and the ability to cross link topics is integral to acing chemistry. Many guidebooks are of the expository and non-refutable type in which facts are presented rather than explained. In this book, novel and more efficient ways of looking at problems in chemistry are proposed to ensure good understanding of the subject.

Throughout the book, much guidance is given "on the spot" and an attempt has been made to interlink different topics and concepts as required by the new syllabusNovel and more efficient ways of looking at problems are proposed. Such methods and techniques have been refined through my years of teaching experience with international studentsExtra emphasis based on fundamental understanding has been placed on the Organic Chemistry section to enable the students to recall the reagents and conditions easily
