Module One

STATES OF MATTER, ATOMS, ELEMENTS & COMPOUNDS

Introduction

Welcome to your new Chemistry course.

Module One begins by looking at the theory of particles and Brownian motion. You will then explore the ideas and properties of different states of matter and how these link to particle theory. It goes on to examine how gas pressure is caused and what factors affect gas pressure. In the second part of this module you will study the structure of atoms and finally gain an understanding of isotopes, compounds and mixtures. 

Before you start work, please make sure that you have read the Course Guide and reviewed the CAIE syllabus.  

Wolsey Hall courses are based on a supported self-study approach.  Our courses provide clear guidance on how to work through your coursebook and also links to supporting resources. Your course tutor will provide feedback to help you progress by means of module assignments which you complete and submit for marking.

It is important that you follow our guidance on each Canvas topic page.  Our Programme of Study (PoS) shows how each topic is linked to your main coursebook and the CAIE syllabus.  It is a good idea to print this document and have it readily available in your folder/exercise book.
