Alcohol, Carbonyl and Carboxylic Acid: A Level Chemistry

About this course

With this course,  your child will be able to master the content he or she need to know for H2 A Level Chemistry  topics: Hydroxyl compounds (alcohols and phenols), carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones), and carboxylic acid and derivatives.This course on A-Level Chemistry alcohols, phenols. carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) and carboxylic acids and its derivative is written based on the Singapore A Level Chemistry syllabus (9729).In this course, we will cover:Alcohols:- physical properties of alcohols- preparation of alcohols- reactions of alcohols- how to distinguish between different types of alcohols (primary alcohol, secondary alcohol and tertiary alcohols)Phenols - physical properties of phenols- preparation of phenols- reactions of phenolsCarbonyl compounds- What are carbonyl compounds- aldehydes vs ketones- preparation of carbonyl compounds- reaction of carbonyl compounds- nucleophilic addition reaction mechanism- distinguishing tests for carbonyl compoundsCarboxylic acids: - physical properties of carboxylic acids- preparation of carboxylic acids- reactions of carboxylic acidsAcidity- comparing acidity of alcohols, phenols and carboxylic acidsCarboxylic derivatives 1: Acyl halides:- Preparation of acyl halides- Reactions of acyl halidesCarboxylic derivatives 2: Esters- Preparation of esters- Reaction of estersThis is the introductory course that I conduct in my face-to-face tuition lessons. In this course, we go through the concepts tested in A Level, as well as how to apply these concepts to questions. The complete course usually takes multiple 2- hour lessons. But now, you can build up your organic Chemistry foundation on alcohol, phenols, carbonyl compounds (al
