A level Chemistry suits individuals who are focussed, resilient and have good mathematical ability. By studying Chemistry at A level you will develop your research, problem solving and analytical skills whilst acquiring an in depth understanding of the fundamental Chemistry concepts. There is a strong practical element to the course which will enhance your understanding of the theory and develop your teamwork and communication skills.
Students must have achieved at least Grade 6 in GCSE Chemistry or Grades 66 in GCSE Double Science. In addition, students must have achieved Grade 6 in GCSE/IGCSE Mathematics.
Paper 1: Inorganic and Relevant Physical Chemistry (35% of A-Level grade). In this unit students will examine the following topics: Periodicity; Group 2 and Group 7, Properties of Period 3, Transition metals, reactions of ions in aqueous solutions, atomic structure, amount of substance, bonding, energetics, chemical equilibria, oxidation, thermodynamics, equilibrium constant, acids and bases. Paper 2: Organic and Relevant Physical Chemistry (35% of A-Level grade) • In this unit students will examine the following topics; alkanes, halogenoalkanes, alkenes, alcohols, organic analysis, isomerism, aldehydes and ketones, aromatic chemistry; amines, polymers, amino acids, NMR and chromatography, energetics, electrode potentials and electrochemical cells. Paper 3: General and Practical Principles in Chemistry (30% of A-Level grade) •In this paper, questions will draw on any of the topics covered in units 1 and 2 and will include synoptic questions that may draw on two or more different topic areas. • This paper will also include questions that assess conceptual and theoretical understanding of experimental methods that will draw on students' experience of the core practicals covered in the A-Level course.
