About This Chapter
AQA A-Level Chemistry: Structure Determination - Chapter Summary
Diving into this chapter is an ideal method of reviewing concepts integral to the study of structure determination in chemistry. Before taking the AQA A-Level Chemistry exam, take advantage of these educational lessons. Afterwards, you could know more about the following:
- Mass spectrometry
- Infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
- Chromatography, filtration and distillation
You can extend your learning by exploring links to relevant practice quizzes and additional courses recommended specifically for you within the dashboard feature, which also serves as a way to monitor your recent activity and progress through the chapter. The dashboard is also the place to go if you ever need to ask our subject experts questions on the material.

1. Mass Spectrometry & Infrared Spectroscopy: Alkyl & Carbonyl Groups
In this lesson, we discuss how mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy can be used to probe the structure of molecules containing alkyl and carbonyl groups.

2. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: C-13 vs 1H
The primary purpose of this lesson will be to get a foundational understanding of C-13 and H-1 NMR and how they can provide valuable structural information about organic compounds.

3. Chromatography, Distillation and Filtration: Methods of Separating Mixtures
What are some ways that mixtures can be separated? Watch this video to explore several examples of ways you can separate a mixture into its individual components.
