Chemguide: Support for CIE A level Chemistry

Section 3. Chemical Bonding

There are several changes between the new 2014 syllabus and the previous 2012 and 2013 syllabuses (which were identical).

In this particular section, as well as changing some statements, they have also introduced a whole new statement which affects the numbering of everything after it.

To keep things simple, I have listed the two sets of statements separately, even though some statements are identical between the two syllabuses. Make sure you choose the right set!

To avoid copyright problems with CIE, I can't quote the actual syllabus statements. That means that you must have a copy of this syllabus. If you haven't got one, download a copy from CIE from here. If this link doesn't work, please let me know at once from the address on the about this site page.

If you are doing the 2012 or 2013 syllabuses . . .

Use these statements of you are doing any exam in 2012, or your final end-of-course exam in 2013.
