Course summary: • Essential knowledge and understanding of different areas of the subject and how they relate to each other. • A deep appreciation of the skills, knowledge and understanding of scientific methods. Competence and confidence in a variety of practical, mathematical and problem-solving skills. Topics taught: Energetics, Bonds, Calculations, Polarisation, Redox, group 2 and 7, Kinetics, Equilibria, Transition metals, Organic Chemistry (Nitrogen and Benzene Chemistry), Rates, Entropy. Skills taught: • Laboratory skills, develop basic skills of formulae writing and calculating chemical quantities. • Detailed understanding of electronic configuration and bonding. • Explaining reactions by exploring the nature and effect of bonding and intermolecular forces. • Quantitative study of kinetics: ability to predict quantitatively the direction and the extent of chemical change. • Application of previous knowledge; understanding of organic chemistry, how to do the synthesis of chemicals. • Improve further their laboratory skills.
External candidates to the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle: • Candidates must have a minimum grade of 9 in French GCSE, a minimum of 6 in 5 GCSEs and a minimum of 7 in the subjects they wish to study for the A-Levels • Candidates meet Mr McNaught for an interview and are assessed individually in writing on 2 subjects they wish to take to A-Levels
Exam codes and exam papers: Paper 1: Advanced inorganic and physical Chemistry 30% = 9CH0/01 Paper 2: Advanced organic and physical Chemistry 30% = 9CH0/02 Paper 3: General and Practical Principles in Chemistry 40% = 9CH0/03 Science Practical endorsement = 9CH0/04 Percentage in examinations /coursework A-level Chemistry is 100% externally assessed. Core practicals also form part of the practical competency assessment made by the teacher, which is awarded as a “Science Practical Endorsement” Pass or Fail on the A-level certificate in addition to the A-level grade. Exam structure: These papers will assess material from both years of the course, testing students' knowledge of the deeper understanding gained at full A level.
