Advice
To get back to the mechanism links page from anywhere in the presentation, click the button at the top right corner of the screen.
This version provides the organic mechanisms specified (2002/3)by the OCR exam board. Each stage of a reaction equation, its conditions and mechanism are revealed in turn on a mouse click or keyboard stroke. Note that there is another version available where each reaction and mechanism play automatically after an initiating click or key stroke.
The number of ways of navigating through this presentation may depend on the version of PowerPoint being used and how it is configured.Some possible ways of advancing:
left mouse click or return key or right arrow key or up arrow key.Some possible ways of reversing:
backspace key or left arrow key or down arrow key.
