Why is mercury a liquid at room temperature? Can we do anything about global warming? How and why will I be affected if we run out of oil? Chemistry tends to focus on the materials which make up our world, both living and non-living. We study their properties and interactions and try to explain patterns of behaviour. Whether it's developing specific drugs to target disease, finding better ways to use the resources we have or developing new materials with enhanced properties, chemistry is everywhere. If you enjoy asking questions about the world around you, then you will like AS and A2 Chemistry because, at last, you will get some answers!
