WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR? To study this subject successfully you need to: ✓ Work hard on challenging concepts that really make you think ✓ Love getting hands-on experience in the lab to test out ideas ✓ Enjoy using maths to solve problems in practical situations ✓ Apply your knowledge in new situations WHAT WILL I LEARN? Year 12: Module 1: Development of Practical Skills (throughout the course) Module 2: Foundations in Chemistry; Moles, Atomic structure and Bonding, Acid-base and Redox titrations Module 3: The Periodic table and Energy; The periodic table and periodicity, group 2 and 7, Qualitative analysis, Enthalpy changes, reaction rates and equilibrium (qualitative) Module 4: Core Organic Chemistry; Basic concepts, Hydrocarbons, Alcohols and haloalkanes, Organic synthesis, Analytical techniques (IR and MS) Year 13: Module 5: Physical Chemistry and Transition Elements Reaction rates and equilibrium (quantitative), pH and buffers, enthalpy, entropy and free energy, Redox and electrode potentials, Transition elements Module 6: Organic Chemistry and Analysis; Aromatic compounds, Carbonyl compounds, Carboxylic acids and esters, Polymers, Nitrogen compounds, Organic synthesis, Chromatography and spectroscopy (NMR).
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: Grade 77 in Double Science or Grade 777 in Triple Science Grade 6 in Maths is also required. 8 or more GCSE at grade 5, equivalent or better including English and Maths.
HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? Year 12: Two internal assessments: Paper 1—1h30; 70 marks; 50% Y1 grade- (does not count towards final A level grade) Paper 2—1h30; 70 marks; 50% Y1 grade- (does not count towards final A level grade) (marks and timings are subject to change) Each paper has a mix of multiple choice, short answer and longer written answers.
