Pearson Edexcel • Chemistry 2015

These were completed by an A* Chemistry student. Provides detailed but concise notes for each chapter. Sorts sub-topics within each chapter into better order to enable deeper understanding. I have also included common standard answers that often come up on exams as 5 or 6 mark questions in the notes for each chapter.
