This text has been produced independently as a resource to support the teaching of the Chemistry course of the International Baccalaureate. The examples and questions do not necessarily reflect the views of the official senior examining team appointed by the International Baccalaureate Organisation. The statements from the IB syllabus are reproduced with the permission of the IBO ... Those familiar with this will find a close correlation between the order in which the book deals with topics and the order in which they appear in the syllabus. The text is accompanied by a series of exercises, most of which have accompanying answers, making this a useful resource for self-study to reinforce normal classroom teaching.-Foreword.
