Document preview thumbnail
Voorbeeld 3 van de 17 pagina's

Based on Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry, these notes cover the entirety of igcse Chemistry. Topics include: States of Matter, Atoms, Rates of Reaction, Metals, Chemistry of the Environment, the Periodic Table, Electrolysis, and all of Organic Chemistry. The notes are tidy and neat, organised by topic. The student who wrote them achieved an A*, you can too!
