About Course

Revise how metals and non-metals form ions, how to draw dot and cross diagrams, how to work out the formula of an ionic compound, and why ionic compounds have high melting points and only conduct electricity when melted or dissolved. Remi the revision owl adds worked examples, command-word tips and common mistakes. It suits GCSE Chemistry and GCSE Combined Science (Foundation and Higher tier).
