Enthusiasm and commitment are needed. Students should be prepared to spend several hours a week in consolidating class work, private study and background reading. Year 12 (AS Level) - core principles of Chemistry Atomic Structure: • Amount of Substance • Bonding • Kinetics • Introduction to Organic Chemistry. • Energetics • Chemical Equilibria • Redox Reactions • Periodicity (including Group II and Group VII) • Organic Chemistry. Year 13 (A-Level) - in the second year, students will study the following additional topics: • Physical Chemistry – Thermodynamics, Rate Equations, Equilibrium Constant and Acids and Bases • Inorganic Chemistry - Period 3 Properties and Transition Metals • Organic Chemistry - Optical Isomerism, Aldehydes and Ketones, Carboxylic Acids, Aromatic Chemistry, Amines, Polymers, Amino Acids, Organic Synthesis, NMR Spectroscopy and Chromatography
For students wishing to study GCE Chemistry they must have achieved at least a grade 6 in Chemistry or a grade 6:6 in GCSE Combined Science.
There will be two exams at the end of Year 12 (AS) to ensure students are keeping pace with the course. This will be followed by three exam papers taken at the end of Year 13. Each paper will contain content outlined during the course as well as questions based on the 12 required practicals carried out throughout the year (there will be no separate practical examination).
