Revised Nuffield Chemistry: Handbook for Pupils

The Handbook for Pupils was one of the main innovations of Revised Nuffield Chemistry. It was written in response to the many requests from teachers for more support for students in the form of a textbook.

The book was in three main parts. The first part covered chemical concepts from periodicity to structure. This part featured specially commissioned colour diagrams of chemical structures. The second part dealt with important aspects of the applications of chemistry. The third part included all the data needed for this part of the course.
