Product Description

Product Description

Edexcel A2 Chemistry provides comprehensive yet accessible coverage of the Edexcel A2 specification. Printed in full colour throughout, the textbook describes and explains the chemistry examined in each unit, illustrating chemical processes with worked examples and formulae. Regular examiner’s advice throughout the book and a set of short-answer questions at the end of each chapter will help students understand key points about each topic. For more extensive revision, there is a practice unit test for each of the three A2 units.


About the Author

George Facer is a chair of examiners. He was Head of Science and Chemistry at Sherborne School for many years and is the author of numerous chemistry books, including the three Student Unit Guides for Edexcel A2 Chemistry, published by Philip Allan Updates.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very, very good, though not the ideal revision book, 25 Mar 2008
By J. Takata (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Considering there are no Edexcel-specific textbooks (apart from those awful NAS books, which leave you more confused than you already were), this book is a gem. It's aesthetically very pleasing, presented in full colour along with frequent diagrams. The explanations are unambiguous and the clear presentation supplements this.

I had two problems with this book, however. One is the lack of answers - without them, the practice questions and paper become somewhat useless (unless you can persuade a nice enough teacher to mark them for you). Another is that Facer sometimes goes a little overboard with the non-syllabus material, so that it becomes a tad long-winded and you may feel overwhelmed at the amount of information presented. Thus, this textbook is probably best suited to the initial learning process rather than the final revision period.

5.0 out of 5 stars The bible for A2 Edexcel Chemistry students!, 28 Aug 2007
For anybody taking Edexcel Chemistry at A2-level, this book is a must-have. The standard issue NAS books (those skimpy green things) are awful: they are full of incoherent detail and poor explanations. This book, by George Facer, is clear and concise and sticks exactly to the Edexcel A2 syllabus (there are some areas in which Facer goes off-syllabus but this is indicated in the text and can be easily ignored). I appreciated how the book was organised in sections which complemented the syllabus, making revision effective and easy. George Facer uses model-answer definitions and provides down-to-earth and easy-to-understand explanations of all the key concepts. The sample questions and mock exams are perfect and accurate of the actual difficulty found within the exam papers. The full colour and user-friendly layout make this the best Chemistry book produced. Boost your A2 grade and get this book! Don't waste your time with the NAS books unless you can understand their awful style.

3.0 out of 5 stars Suprising, 10 Nov 2009
By Rufus Mcgrufus "brap" (UK, Staffordshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Edexcel A2 Chemistry: Textbook (Paperback)
First of all, I hate to say it but WHSmith are selling this for £16.00, but they are book specialists I guess.

Second of all, considering the price, you would think this book would have been read through once or twice by editors, well it is packed with mistakes.
Not just little mistakes, serious mistakes that if your already finding Chemistry difficult can really confuse you.

However, if the book had no mistakes it would definitely be my choice of book as it is detailed but to the point with not just bare writing on every page.

Perhaps wait for another edition or just buy this one with mind that some of it is wrong.
