Topic 2 of Edexcel exam board (A Level). These notes are of A*/A standard and have been used to achieve these grades. They cover every point in the specification in very concise detail. Graphs are also used where appropriate to aid understanding of concepts. Also includes example questions and answers for challenging concepts. Topic 2 - Bonding and Structure

This summary of notes shows the 7 bond shapes with the amount of bond angles, lone pairs and bond pairs

A Level Edexcel Chemistry - Topic 2 - Bonding and Structure 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!
