The course is divided into 6 modules Module 1 – Development of practical skills in chemistry Practical skills assessed in a written examination. 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 haloalkanes; 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).
Entry level requirement of five grade 5's at GCSE.
