Chemistry is the study of substances - from plastics to painkillers, metals to microchips, the air you breathe, the food you eat, the clothes you wear and the complex chemicals in living organisms. It will be challenging, interesting, rewarding and hard work. You will use computers for information retrieval and data logging. Practical work is important and will include synthesising dyes, analysing aspirin, calculating enthalpy changes and determining the rate of a reaction. Chemistry is quite a demanding A-level. You will need to have good grades for Science and Mathematics at GCSE. You will need to be well-organised and prepared to work hard. If you have enjoyed Chemistry at GCSE level then you will probably continue to enjoy it at A-level but you do need to bear in mind that A-level Chemistry is more mathematical.
The minimum required grades for each of their preferred A-level subjects At least a grade 5 in GCSE Mathematics At least a grade 5 in GCSE English Language A minimum overall points score from their entire set of GCSEs, as follows: 55 points if she is taking 10 or more GCSEs; 50 points if she is taking 9 GCSEs; 45 points if she is taking 8 GCSEs
Paper 1: Relevant physical chemistry topics (atomic structure, amount of substance, bonding, energetics, chemical equilibria, Le Chatelier's principle and Kc, oxidation, reduction and redox equations, thermodynamics, equilibrium constant Kp for homogenous systems, electrode potentials and electrochemical cells, acids and bases); inorganic chemistry; relevant practical skills. Paper 2: Relevant physical chemistry topics (amount of substance, bonding, energetics, chemical equilibria, Le Chatelier's principle and Kc, rate equations); organic chemistry; relevant practical skills. Paper 3: Any content from papers 1 and 2, including relevant practical skills.
