What will I study? The work covered not only builds on the GCSE content you have already studied but also adds on a significant step up in both content and theoretical understanding. Topics covered include: Atomic structure, Amount of substance, Bonding, Energetics, Kinetics, Chemical equilibria, Le Châtelier’s principle and Kc, Oxidation, Reduction and Redox equations, Thermodynamics, Rate equations, Equilibrium constant Kp for homogeneous systems, Electrode potentials and Electrochemical cells, Acids and bases, Periodicity, Group 2, The alkaline earth metals, Group 7(17), The halogens, Properties of Period 3 elements and their oxides, Transition metals, Reactions of ions in aqueous solution, Introduction to organic chemistry, Alkanes, Halogenoalkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols, Organic analysis, Optical isomerism, Aldehydes and ketones, Carboxylic acids and derivatives, Aromatic chemistry, Amines, Polymers, Amino acids, proteins and DNA, Organic synthesis, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Chromatography.
To study A Level at The South Wolds Academy and Sixth Form you must achieve at least six GCSE passes, two at Grade 6 or above and four at Grade 5 or above Minimum of a Grade 6 in either GCSE Science Trilogy or GCSE Chemistry, plus a minimum of a Grade 6 in GCSE Math
Three exams at the end of year 2: Paper 1 covers inorganic chemistry; Paper 2 covers organic chemistry; Paper 3 is a mixed exam covering all topics with a multiple choice section. Also a separate practical endorsement based upon practical work done in class, and assessed by the teacher.
