Revision
Revision checklist
Can you explain each of these out loud, without looking? If not, re-read that lesson.
- Chemical Tests: Identify gases and ions with classic test-tube tests.
- Flame Tests and Precipitates: Use flame colours and precipitation to identify metal ions.
- Mass Spectrometry: Find relative masses and molecular formulae from m/z peaks.
- Infrared and NMR Spectroscopy: Identify bonds and hydrogen environments in molecules.
- Read each lesson's summary and re-do its practice questions from memory.
