Unique package of interactive PowerPoint and paper-based activities that can be used for independent self-study, revision or in the classroom. These resources cover AS and A2 infrared (IR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry through two interactive PowerPoint presentations, which are colourful, animated and present the information in a flexible way. Each PowerPoint slide contains links to other slides, to enable easy navigation and to emphasise links between different aspects. A method for interpreting infrared and mass spectra is given, in each case illustrated by animated examples with spectra and structures to aid understanding of the process. Also included are two graded worksheet including problems where unknown structures are identified. Full answers to exercises are provided. This resource was developed primarily for the OCR A level Chemistry specification but is useful for all specifications. It relates to the following sections : AS: Module 4 – Core organic chemistry Part 2 – Alcohols, haloalkanes and analysis 4.2.4 Analytical techniques A2: Module 6 – Organic chemistry and analysis Part 3 – Analysis 6.3.2 Spectroscopy (Combined techniques) Please review!
