Would you like to gain the skills to complete your A-level chemistry exam successfully? This kinetics and organic molecules diploma course will help you achieve this goal. We begin by explaining reaction rates and what affects them, including concentration, temperature and catalysts. You will learn to analyze rate equations and determine reaction orders before we delve into the kinetics and reaction mechanisms, explaining the step-by-step processes underlying chemical reactions.
Another important topic covered is benzene and its compounds. You will examine the aromaticity of benzene and its stability. Then, we focus on phenols, organic compounds with hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to aromatic rings and study phenols' unique properties and reactivity. We investigate amines, organic compounds with nitrogen substituents and then introduce peptides and proteins, which are biologically important compounds composed of amino acids. You will learn about nucleic acids, their functional role in biological systems, and DNA structure and replication.
The last few sections examine polymers and biopolymers, including their synthesis, properties, and applications in plastics, fibres and biomaterials. You will become adept at understanding essential analytical techniques, including chromatography, NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) and mass spectrometry. Finally, the course covers organic synthesis, focusing on strategies for constructing complex organic molecules. Immerse yourself in the world of chemistry and feel confident to pass your A-level chemistry exam!
