The AS-Level Chemistry (9701) course provides students with a solid foundation in understanding the principles that govern the structure, properties, and reactions of matter. The course covers key areas such as atomic structure, bonding, energetics, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, and introductory organic and inorganic chemistry. Students develop analytical and problem-solving skills by applying chemical concepts, performing calculations, interpreting experimental data, and explaining chemical phenomena. Emphasis is placed on practical laboratory work, safe handling of chemicals, accurate measurement techniques, and the correct use of laboratory equipment, alongside theoretical understanding. This approach prepares learners for further studies in A-Level Chemistry and related scientific fields, while fostering logical thinking and an appreciation of how chemistry explains the world around us.
