To provide an idea about what this book contains, only few pages taken randomly from the book are shown here. Multiple Choice Questions are generally tricky problems. The incorrect choices given are usually quite similar to the | correct one. Consequently, many students play ‘guessing game’ when they run into questions that they are unsure | of. With believe that wth good training and comprehensive | preparation, students should be able to overcome this prob- | lem rather than leaving it to chance. This constitutes the | reason for the publication of this book This book has been specially written to provide valuable practice al answering multiple choice questions. It is ar- ranged topically and follows the lastest GCE ‘A level Chem- istry (H2) syllabus closely, Most importantly, it aims to cover most, if not, all the important and frequently ex- amined questions. ‘Helps’ is available at the end of every question to assist you when difficulties are encountered in attempting to answer the questions. This book also reveals the insight into the topics involved and hence, enhances your overall knowledge of the con- cepts. Therefore, even if you are able to arrive at the cor- rect answer, we suggest that you still read through ‘Helps’ to ensure that you understand thoroughly the methods working out the answers.
