Organic Chemistry

These five PowerPoints were planned as part of the IB scheme of work on Organic Chemistry, and cover the necessary content for both the Standard and Higher Level topics. It would also be suitable for other post-16 courses.

Included are fully completed PowerPoints, student versions of the PowerPoints with sections to complete independently and some exam style questions.

Topics included are:
