Understanding Basic Chemistry Through Problem Solving

This book is the revised edition of Understanding Basic Chemistry Through Problem Solving published in 2015. It is in a series of Understanding Chemistry books, which deals with Basic Chemistry using the problem solving approach. Written for students taking either the university of Cambridge O-level examinations or the GCSE examinations, this guidebook covers essential topics and concepts under both stipulated chemistry syllabi.

The book is written in such a way as to guide the reader through the understanding and applications of essential chemical concepts using the problem solving approach.

Key Features:

• The book provides fundamental important scaffolding to aid students to create their own understanding of the chemical concepts in O level chemistry or the GCSE equivalence
• The book encourages critical thinking and meaningful applications, using the basic concepts learnt
• The book guides the students to integrate the various concepts that they have learnt into a coherent and meaningful conceptual network, especially relating to the basic physical chemistry they have learnt
