Learn, practise, explain
Try the exercise before reading its explanation. Answer the self-check questions in your own words, then compare your reasoning with the answers. Revisit any difficult section before moving on. No account or payment is needed.
- 01
Acids, bases and what indicators can tell us
A colour change can answer a chemical question, but only if we know what the indicator measures. Learn to read acidity evidence without tasting, touching or mixing unknown materials.
Learning outcome: Interpret litmus and pH records, distinguish strength from concentration, and explain the limits of a neutralisation claim.

The periodic table: reading patterns and making predictions
The periodic table is a map of relationships. Learn to use an element’s position to ask better questions about its electrons, size and likely chemistry.
Learning outcome: Read a periodic-table entry, compare selected main-group elements, and justify a prediction while stating the limits of the pattern.

Metals, non-metals and choosing a material
A cooking vessel, its handle and an electrical cable need different properties. Use chemistry to explain the choice instead of assuming that one material is best for everything.
Learning outcome: Compare material properties, calculate an illustrative alloy composition, and explain how corrosion prevention must match the exposure.

Carbon bonding and everyday compounds
A fuel, a food ingredient and a soap can all contain carbon while behaving very differently. The useful question is how their atoms are connected and how those structures interact.
Learning outcome: Check simple carbon structures, distinguish a formula from connectivity, recognise two functional groups, and explain the two-part structure of soap.
