The program is in the form of a game, which is intended to help familiarise 4th and 5th year pupils with the reactions met in chemical analysis. A compound is randomly selected from twenty-four possibilities and the results of a series of chemical tests are displayed, some of them graphically. Additional tests are available, but using them reduces the student's possible score. He/she then attempts to deduce the identity of the compound and is awarded a score based on the tests used and number of attempts required. An explanations follows.

The program is suitable both for class and individual use, and a specimen worksheet is provided to allow easy recording of results for later anaylsis. Permission is given for this worksheet to be copied for later use.
