GCE A2 Salters Chemistry Module 2849 "Chemistry of Materials"

GCE A2 Salters Chemistry Salters unit DP "Designer Polymers"

1. unit map - learning objectives and exam bashing thoughts 

2. The structure and naming of organic compounds containing nitrogen

3. Typing in the name test on organic compounds containing nitrogen.

4. Multiple choice test on classifying, naming and structure of organic nitrogen compounds. 

5. Summary of chemical tests for organic functional groups etc. (alphabetical index at top of page, handy throughout course)

(please note that in the naming quizzes there are other N compounds which do NOT have to be named by Salters students - I do try to cover as many different, but academically equivalent syllabuses, as I can - check out the LO's before doing the quiz and if possible,  just ignore other N molecules!)
