C.1 - Energy Sources
Richard Thornley's Option C - Video Playlist
www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL816Qsrt2Os1StGTk1VHavGSuTGH6v1Gp
Videos are useful for auditory and visual learners. Thornley's interactive teaching style and simplistic explanations will help you retain information over long periods of time. Some of the playlist covers HL material and is not necessary to watch. He covers the basics particularly well.
C.2 - Fossil Fuels
General Option C material - Written Notes / Video
http://www.msjchem.com/sl-option-c.html
Very, very good!!! Provides simple text definitions and explanations for Option C, along with videos to help cement the information. The source only covers SL material and has links to notes on other topics. Very strongly recommend studying from here; awesome site.
C.3 - Nuclear Fusion and Fission
General Option C material - Written Notes
https://www.hoddereducation.co.uk/media/Documents/International/Chemistry%20for%20the%20IB%20Diploma/829055_24_IB_Chemistry_001-101.pdf
This source is extensive and has plenty of information to review for students who need a thorough review of the material. Pictures and diagrams make explanations clear, and the huge volume of information ensures a solid understanding of the basics. This covers nuclear fusion and fission very well, but covers all the material.
C.4 - Solar Energy
IB Option C syllabus
http://ibchem.com/root_pdf/options/OptC-core.pdf
Describes everything specific the IB wants you to know for Option C. Study this to make sure there's nothing you've missed before the exam. This covers solar energy particularly well, but covers all the material well.
C.5 - Environmental Impact
General Option C material - Written Notes
http://ibdiploma.cambridge.org/media/IB_chem2_3_resources_OptC.pdf
Yet another way to digest the material. The explanations are more focused than in other sources, but excessive information is present which may not be ideal for last-minute studying. Use to familiarize yourself with the material and reinforce what you learned in class. This covers environmental impacts particularly well, but goes over all the material.
Relevant Evans2 Chem Web Notes:
Standard Grade topic 5 – fuels
Higher Unit 2 : Fuels
Higher Unit 3: nuclear chemistry
CfE Higher Unit 2 : Nature's Chemistry - Esters, fats and oils (goes over fats and oils but not transesterification)
CfE Advanced Higher Unit 2 : Molecular orbitals (scroll to the end for information on conjugation)
