These syllabus notes were written to help students to understand and succeed in Chemistry at High
School. They are based on the NSW Board of Studies HSC Chemistry Syllabus (Revised 2003). These
notes are not a text book and as such I have tried to only include the information that is needed as
the syllabus stipulates. I have taken the approach to cover each dot point on its own rather than
cover topics like text books do. I have done this to make it easier to read, understand and memorise
