Chemical uses, chemistry information and industry news
Laboratory chemicals refer to any chemical that’s used in laboratory testing and experiments. Most are standard chemical reagents or simple chemicals that serve as basic ingredients to synthesise more complex chemicals. They can be used for investigative or diagnostic purposes, such as in the preparation of drugs or in laboratory experiments.These experiments are typically small-scale, and are conducted on small...
Chemical reactions are about breaking and making bonds between atoms, which changes the way atoms share electrons. Bonds can be ionic, covalent, polar, or metallic. Bonding determines the molecular structure and physical properties of a substance. Chemical bonding is determined by various factors, like the number of valence electrons and the ionisation energy.When you’re revising for A level chemistry, it’s...
Chemistry apprenticeships are blended learning programmes designed to provide both theoretical and practical training for those who want to earn while they learn. Apprentices typically spend the majority of their time doing on-the-job training while gaining in-depth knowledge. Chemistry apprentices are normally only required to occasionally attend lectures and activities on campus. Apprentices who complete the programme can earn an equivalent...

Chemistry is arguably one of the most difficult subjects to do at GCSE. To do well in your exam, you’ll need a good grasp of theoretical concepts as well as practical skills. But it’s not just about memorising key concepts and practices - it’s about being able to really understand them so you can apply them to a range of...
Methyl red is an azo dye, or a synthetic dye, which is one of the common chemical indicators used in the laboratory to determine pH transitions within a specific range. It’s most effective between pH 4.4 and pH 6.2. If the pH level is below 4.4, its colour is red, and if it’s above 6.2, the colour turns yellow. If the...
