Chemistry is a fascinating yet logical science, dealing with the study of matter and its properties. Research in Chemistry aims to find ways of converting the Earth’s natural resources into a huge variety of useful products, such as fuel cells to replace petrol and to power portable gadgets, as well as plastics, nanotechnology, and pharmaceuticals to combat disease. Whilst all these inventions improve our standard of living, at the same time Chemists have a responsibility to ensure this is done in ways that don’t detract from the standard of living available to future generations. If you want to study Chemistry you need to be able to take clear logical steps based on careful observations and be able to make extensions to scientific theories. It is about applying logical deductive reasoning to the chemical world around us within the learnt framework of chemical vocabulary and theory. If you have an inherent wonder at the natural world and want to see the part atoms play in it and enjoy careful accurate description and mathematics, Chemistry is for you.
GCSE Requirements • At least three grade 7s or above • At least three grade 6s or above • At least grade 5 in English and Maths • The required grade at I/GCSE in the qualifying subject/s required for their chosen courses – see the Qualifying Subjects. A grade of 7 or above in GCSE Mathematics is required.
We follow the OCR A specification; the following is a broad outline of the material which will be covered. Module 1 - Development of practical skills in Chemistry: practical skills assessed in the written examination and practical skills assessed in the practical endorsement. Module 2 - Foundations in Chemistry: amount of substance, acids and bases, redox, bonding and structure. Module 3 - Periodic Table and Energy: periodicity, Group 2 and 7, qualitative analysis, enthalpy changes, rates and equilibrium. Module 4 - Core organic chemistry: hydrocarbons, alcohols, haloalkanes, organic synthesis, infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Module 5 - Physical chemistry and transition elements: rates, equilibrium, pH calculations, buffers, entropy, electrode potentials and transition elements. Module 6 - Organic chemistry and analysis: aromatic compounds, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acids and derivatives, nitrogen compounds, polymers, chromatography and NMR spectroscopy. There is a significant mathematical component to the course, therefore a grade of 7 or above in GCSE Mathematics is required.
