    Transition metals (A-level only)

    AQAA-Level

    7405

    Transition metals turn abstract electron structure into colour, shape, redox chemistry and industry. This exam-focused A-level guide shows exactly how to earn marks for complexes, ligand substitution, colour, catalytic cycles and the linked aqueous-ion practical. It also flags an important scope point: 3.2.5 is A-level only, so use it as a GCSE-to-A-level bridge rather than GCSE core content.
