Shows the overlap of p orbitals to make the delocalised system.

A quick revision of isomerism then an animation of polarimetry. Comments welcome. This replaces a similar resource that didn't actually upload the resource!

A powerpoint that goes through the auf-bau process and shows the limitations of the GCSE model. It also helps students to visualise how the AS spdf orbital model can be drawn out of the Bohr model.

A journey through the interaction of light and matter. Looking at the different parts of the spectrum and how they are used for spectroscopy. Leads into NMR spectroscopy resource which deals with reading NMR spectra.
