I always wanted to do Chemistry at A-Level, but unfortunately my school wouldn't let me do 6 A-levels However, now I'm going to have a bit of spare time over the holidays, I'd like to get to grips with the basics again and maybe go and do a Chemistry A-Level at my local college.

 

I'd just like to know if anyone can recommend any good books, online references, and soforth. I'm quite interested in doing this, but unfortunately my maths has kept me quite busy

 

Cheers in advance.

most chemistry textbooks are good for basics. I like this one: The chemical world- concepts and application. However its not superly good, its only a text book. h2SO4 said he new a really good chemistry book, talk to him.

also, depending on what topics you want specific knowledge on, i can hook you up with files; i have a small digital library saved to my hard drive

I'll take anything, but I guess specifically organic chem and things related to AP chem / chem 2.

Dave, W.H.Smiths and Otakers(sp) in Wallsal do a great range in the Education section, also they`ll be current to this years curiculum, that`s where I got a few of mine from and Math text books

Hmm. I have a £10 Ottokar's gift voucher to spent still, so I may visit there sometime today
