Module 1: Development of practical skills in chemistry 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) Students gain practical skills throughout the course. These are assessed in the written examinations and in the Practical Endorsement (component 04). Activities that could count towards the Practical Endorsement are indicated in the specifications. As well as developing excellent laboratory techniques, you gain specific knowledge in the traditional fields of chemistry. As chemistry overlaps with other subjects, you pick up skills that are useful in biology and medicine, physics and engineering and geology and earth science. Chemistry is also studied in an environmental and social context, so you gain awareness of its ethical implications and issues relating to environmental impact and sustainability. Subjects that are required more often than others are referred to as facilitating subjects. Chemistry is a facilitating subject.
- Grade 6 in Chemistry or 7-7 in Combined Science and Grade 6 in Mathematics - For A Level subjects, students are expected to achieve an average grade score of 5.5 from their GCSE grades and a grade 4 in English (Literature or Language) and Mathematics.
