A level is broken down into three major sections: Physical chemistry which looks at the fundamental structure of atoms and mathematical analysis. Inorganic chemistry which is the study of the elements of the periodic table and its trends and Organic chemistry which looks at the complex chemistry of carbon and living things. Year 1 Study: Physical chemistry: Atomic structure · Amount of substance · Bonding · Energetics · Kinetics · Chemical equilibria, Le Chatelier’s principle and Kc · Oxidation, reduction and redox equations Inorganic Chemistry: · Periodicity · Group 2, the alkaline earth metals · Group 7 (17), the halogens Organic Chemistry: Introduction to organic chemistry · Alkanes · Halogenoalkanes · Alkenes · Alcohols · Organic analysis Year 2 Study: Physical chemistry: Thermodynamics · Rate equations · Equilibrium constant Kp for homogeneous systems · Electrode potentials and electrochemical cells · Acids and bases Inorganic chemistry: Properties of Period 3 elements and oxides · Transition metals · Reactions of ions in aqueous solution Organic chemistry: Optical isomerism · Aldehydes and ketones · Carboxylic acids and derivatives · Aromatic chemistry · Amines · Polymers · Amino acids, proteins and DNA · Organic synthesis · NMR spectroscopy · Chromatography
Grade 5 in Maths GCSE, Grade 4 in English GCSE and two Grade 6s in Science GCSE to include Chemistry or Combined Science.
The assessment for the A level consist of three exams.
