Why do two chemicals react to release energy, but another two chemicals react and absorb energy? Why do different molecules have different boiling points? Why are some substances blue and others colourless? AS Chemistry builds on the knowledge and understanding developed at GCSE. You will integrate theory with experimental work, and develop your investigation skills as well as build your knowledge base. At AS you will learn a detailed model for atomic structure and electron arrangement. You will unearth and explain patterns in the Periodic Table. You will learn to calculate how much of one substance reacts with another, and how much product can be expected to be produced by the reactions. You will learn how to make reactions happen more quickly or more slowly, or not at all. You will learn how to make substances from raw materials and you will discover how to turn one molecule into another. You will see how chemists design new materials to meet the needs of the modern world, and you will find out how medicinal chemists design drugs to alleviate previously untreatable diseases. To learn about future developments in Chemistry you will need to discover a little about the history of the subject: where we are going in Chemistry is built on the foundations of where we have come from. The foundations of physical Chemistry (the principles of thermodynamics) and organic Chemistry (the Chemistry of living things, and the area in which August Kekulé was a key thinker) will be laid.
