Higher Chemistry for CfE is tailored specifically to the extended requirements, teaching approaches and syllabus outlines detailed in the Higher Chemistry revisions for Curriculum for Excellence, to be examined 2015 onwards. A significant proportion of the text is also appropriate for teaching the Revised Higher syllabus being examined 2012-2015.

Each section of the book matches a unit of the CfE syllabus; each chapter corresponds to a content area. End-of-course questions, a chemical dictionary and a full index are also provided, with key learning points summarised throughout to help students revise. The book demonstrates the relevance of the chemistry being studied by offering students examples of how the chemical industry applies basic chemistry principles to its everyday operation.
