There are three areas of chemistry which are studied. Physical: • Thermodynamics • Rate equations • Equilibrium constant Kc for homogeneous systems • Electrode potentials and electrochemical cells • Acids and bases Organic: • Optical isomerism • Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic acids and derivatives Aromatic chemistry • Amines, Amino acids, proteins and DNA • Polymers • Organic synthesis, NMR and Chromatography Inorganic: • Properties of Period 3 elements and their oxides • Transition metals • Reactions of ions in aqueous solution
Minimum of 5 grade 5 (new grading structure) at GCSE or equivalent with English and 6 in maths. At least a grade 6 in GCSE Chemistry or Combined Science is the minimum requirement.
The course will be assessed via three written papers including relevant practical skills: Paper 1: 2 hours long consisting of 105 marks: a mixture of short and long answer questions. Paper 2: 2 hours long consisting of 105 marks: a mixture of short and long answer questions. Paper 3: 2 hours long consisting of 90 marks (40 marks: practical and data analysis 20 marks: questions testing across the specification and 30 marks: multiple choice questions).
