This interactive quiz is for GCSE Chemistry (single science) students studying acids, alkalis and salts. Test your knowledge of indicators, reactions and chemical equations.

Revise how scientists first viewed the atom, the electronic configuration of an atom and the chemical reactions based on different configurations.

Revise the difference between ionic, covalent and metallic bonding, and understand how to interpret dot and cross diagrams.

Revise covalent and ionic compounds and structures, and see how the two types of bond give rise to different physical properties in the resulting substance.

Learn about nanoparticle properties and their surface area to volume ratio.

Learn how symbols, formulae and equations help chemists to explain chemical reactions in detail.

Revise the history, patterns and structure of the periodic table including; groups and periods; group 1 metals; transition metals; non-metals; reactivity.

Learn about how chemists use relative atomic masses and relative formula masses to carry out mole calculations.

Learn about how many chemicals are acidic, neutral or alkaline and how we can distinguish one from another using indicators.

Learn how to separate and analyse chemicals using filtration; crystallisation; paper chromatography; simple and fractional distillation; flame tests.

Learn about how solubility is a measurement of the maximum mass of a substance which will dissolve in 100 g of water at a particular temperature.

Learn about how the reactivity series ranks metals by how readily they react. More reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds and react with water.

Learn about how oxidation is loss of electrons, gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen. Reduction is gain of electrons, loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.

Learn how to measure rates of reaction and how to impact the rate by changing the temperature, concentration and surface area or by using a catalyst.

Learn and revise the Haber process, Le Chatelier's principle, reversible reactions, the symbol for this and dynamic equilibrium.

Learn about how an organic chemical contains the element carbon and the four different homologous series of organic compounds: alkanes, alkenes, alcohols and carboxylic acids.

Learn how to use moles of a solute dissolved in a solution and moles of a gas to carry out calculations.

Learn about electrochemistry and explore the principles behind electrolysis, oxidation and reduction equations and extracting aluminium.

Learn about chemical reactions and how energy is transferred to or from the surroundings. Find out about reactions and temperature changes and ways of calculating energy changes.

Learn about the gaseous elements and compounds in the Earth’s atmosphere; nitrogen, ammonia, hydrogen, oxygen, metal and non-metal oxides and carbon dioxide.

Learn how to carry out this experiment where you heat hydrated iron(II) sulfate crystals, and record mass measurements, to calculate the mass of water in the supplied crystals.

Learn how to investigate the reactions of acids, including the temperature changes that occur.

Learn how to make a soluble salt from a base and make a soluble salt from an alkali.

Learn how to identify the ions in an ionic compound using chemical tests.

Learn how to determine the relative reactivity of metals through this experiment.

Learn about how to carry out an experiment to explore the rate of reaction.

Learn how to carry out an experiment to investigate the reactions of carboxylic acids.

Determine the reacting volumes of solutions of acid and alkali by titration and determine the concentration of solutions of acid and alkali by titration.

Learn about how to investigate the preparation, properties, tests and reactions of the gases hydrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Plan, observe and evaluate experiments with a hypothesis, variables and conclusions, using scientific equipment like a measuring cylinder or a burette.
