Summary

CIE Chemistry: AS Level and A Level meets the requirements of the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) syllabuses for AS Level and A Level Chemistry, and is endorsed by CIE. In one volume, this textbook covers the core material of the CIE A Level chemistry syllabus. AS material is clearly separated from A Level material making the book suitable for one year AS courses and for two year A Level courses. Chapter learning objectives are directly related to the CIE syllabus. Questions throughout the text reinforce students' understanding and the exam-style end-of-chapter exercises offer opportunities for independent study. The accessible language means that the material is suitable for all students, including those for whom English is not their first language. Features include chapter introductions and summaries and self assessment questions and answers to exam-style questions.
