Hi! I've decided to share the notes that I made for AS Chemistry so that everyone can benefit. I'm currently still working on it, I will upload more and more chapters as time goes on. So, please keep yourself updated(if you wanna!).

About the sources:
1) Well, I basically just compiled information from various sources(webs and books) and
arranged it according to CIE exam specification. Most of the texts and pictures/diagrams
came from the Internet, I do not own any of them.
2) I've referred to many sources so it's not possible for me to list them all. However, I do want
to list some major ones:
i. Chemguide: http://www.chemguide.co.uk/index.html#top
ii. Cambridge International AS/A Level Chemistry Coursebook
iii. Step-by-step A-Level Study Guide Chemistry
iv. Syllabus for Cambridge International AS/A Level Chemistry 9701

I have decided to exclude most calculation examples, so you should find another source to practice the calculations, which are very essential indeed. My aim of making these notes is to provide you a REVISION source. If you are first time learning a topic, learn it from your teacher or the excellent Chemguide website(link provided above). After you have mastered the topic, read my notes to reinforce the main points.

And finally...
If you found any mistakes in my notes, do let me know. Even if it's a spelling error, I am willing to correct it.

Notes section

1) CHAPTER 1: Atomic Structure
2) CHAPTER 2: Atoms, Molecules and Stoichiometry
3) CHAPTER 3: Electrons in Atoms
4) CHAPTER 4: Chemical Bonding
5) CHAPTER 5: States of Matter
6) CHAPTER 6: Chemical Energetics
7) CHAPTER 7: Redox Reactions and Electrolysis
8) CHAPTER 8: Chemical Equilibria
9) CHAPTER 9: Rate of Reaction
10) CHAPTER 10: Chemical Periodicity NEW !!
11) CHAPTER 11: Group II
12) CHAPTER 12: Group VII
13) CHAPTER 13: Nitrogen and Sulfur
(Y) thanx

(y) Seriously! You are doing a great and awsum! Job. Keep it up and complete it till the end.
Your notes are brilliant. I use them alot in making my notes. Mashallah

Will you include organic notes? :)

Thanks for liking it!
I will most likely continue until the end, even for A2 syllabus. But for now, I'm forced to postpone it for a while.
