Key Learning Objectives:

Safe practical and theoretical chemistry is introduced and extended in terms ofatomic structure, structure and bonding in traditional, new and nano materials,patterns in the Periodic Table, reactions of acids including preparation of pure, drysalts, solubility and chemical analysis. Students are expected to express themselvesaccurately in terms of formulae, ionic and balanced symbol equations. The sectionon quantitative chemistry includes calculations in terms of amounts in moles andpercentage yield.

Verified

Key Learning Objectives:

Safe practical and theoretical chemistry is extended further to include reactivityseries, redox, rates of reaction, energy changes in chemical reactions and gaschemistry. Students are introduced to organic chemistry, equilibrium in chemicalreactions and electrochemistry as well as continuing to write more complexequations and carry out increasingly complex calculations of amounts in molesinvolving solution and gas chemistry.

Key Learning Objectives:

Units 1 and 2 include a number of practical tasks that students carry out during the course. Nine of these are prescribed practicals. This unit has two parts: Booklet A and Booklet B. We set and mark both booklets.Booklet A is a practical skills assessment. It assesses students’ ability to plan and carry out two practical tasks based on but not identical to the nine prescribed practicals listed in this specification.Booklet B is a written, externally assessed examination taken during the final year of study. It assesses students’ knowledge and understanding of practical science. It consists of questions about planning and carrying out any of the prescribed practical tasks, together with more general questions about any practical situation that arises in Units 1 and 2 in this specification.
