This volume offers a fact-packed and densely illustrated study guide for GCSE students and beyond. Clear definitions and images aim to strip away the complexities of difficult science concepts. A helpful glossary, comprehensive index and tables, charts and diagrams are also included. It covers topics such as the periodic table, polymers and plastics, elements, compounds and mixtures, atoms and molecules, oxidation and electrolysis.
