AQA A-level Chemistry 3.3.9 Aromatic, chemistry & reactions of benzene - Unit Workbook with Answers

(1)
AQA A-level chemistry unit 3.3.9 Aromatic Chemistry and the reactions of benzene and its derivatives - Lesson or Revision workbook with answers This workbooks covers a whole unit of work combining detailed information sections with Cornell Style notetaking so the books can be used while you teach and students can add their own notes and ideas down the margin. Colour is used consistently for the different types of sections to make the booklet more dyslexia friendly as I have found that chemistry notes and questions can often be very dense, and somewhat inaccessible for all students but especially students who have dyslexia. The booklet can also be produced as a revision guide for the topic and contains all the notes and practice past paper questions you would need to revise along with worked examples. Student and parent friendly and can be used without a teacher. This booklet is 25 pages long with answers to past paper questions provided at the back from page 21 onwards. It is provided in word and pdf. Please customise for personal use only and do not share or re-sell. Contents • Useful definitions • Kékulé structure and problems with it • Naming compounds based on benzene • Electrophilic substitution reactions of benzene
