Module 1: Development of practical skills in chemistry • Practical skills assessed in a written examination. • Practical skills assessed in the practical endorsement. Module 2: Foundations in chemistry • Atoms • Compounds • Molecules and equations • Amount of substance • Acid–base and redox reactions • Electrons • Bonding and structure Module 3: Periodic table and energy • The periodic table and periodicity • Group 2 and the halogens • Qualitative analysis • Enthalpy changes • Reaction rates and equilibrium (qualitative) Module 4: Core organic chemistry • Basic concepts • Hydrocarbons • Alcohols and halo-alkanes • Organic synthesis • Analytical techniques (IR and MS) 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 • Nitrogen compounds • Polymers • Organic synthesis • Chromatography and spectroscopy (NMR)
• At least 5 grade 7-9 GCSEs. • Minimum of grade 6 in Chemistry or a grade 7 in combined science.
There are 3 exams totalling 6 hours of exam assessment. Periodic table, elements and physical chemistry (2 hours 15 minutes) assesses content from Modules 1,2,3 and 5. Synthesis and analytical techniques (2 hours 15 minutes) assesses content from 1,2,4 and 6, and unified chemistry (1 hour 30 minutes) assesses content from all modules 1-6. Within A-Level Chemistry, 20% of the marks available within written examinations will be for assessment of mathematics.
