Detailed notes on Unit 6 - Organic Chemistry I covering all specifications points, and allowed me to achieve an A*. Covers bonding, types of formula, homologous series, naming organic compounds, isomerism, type of reactions, alkanes, alkenes, free radical substitution, electrophilic addition, halogenoalkanes, nucleophilic substitution, uses of halogenoalkanes, oxidation and combustion of alcohols.

A Level Edexcel Chemistry - Topic 6 - Organic Chemistry 1/I Fully updated notes providing drop down answers to self made questions designed from numerous textbooks and exam mark schemes. During my revision, I created these drop down questions and answers by extracting the key information needed to achieve top marks in exams. I achieved a high A* using only these notes. Notes for all other topics have been released on my page :) Hope I can help!

Spider diagram of all the organic I chemical reactions including important exam information for example colour changes and tests. Information gathered from the CGP book as well as other sources such as my school (Epsom College) one note. All condensed into one page, colour co-ordinated, easy to understand as well as containing all the exam information. Helped me get an A* in chemistry!!
