Year 13 builds on knowledge and skills developed in Year 12. You will gain a greater understanding of the real world applications of these theoretical concepts in your second year. If you like a challenge and you enjoy lots of maths and calculations then Chemistry could be for you. Year 12: • Physical Chemistry: atomic structure, amount of substance, bonding, kinetics, equilibria, and redox reactions. • Inorganic Chemistry: periodicity, group 2 chemistry, and group 7 chemistry. • Organic Chemistry: organic compounds and isomerism, alkanes, halogenoalkanes, alkenes, alcohols, and organic analysis. • Practical Skills: experiments are designed to improve practical competence and introduce the student to a wide variety of techniques. Year 13: • Physical Chemistry: thermodynamics, further kinetics and equilibria, electrode potentials and electrochemical cells, acids, bases, and buffers. • Inorganic chemistry: periodicity, transition metals, and reactions of inorganic compounds. • Organic Chemistry: stereoisomerism, carbonyl chemistry, aromatic chemistry, amines, amino-acids, DNA, organic synthesis and analysis, structure determination, and chromatography. • Practical Skills: building on Year 12 with more complexity and challenging analysis and evaluation.
• All Loughborough College Sixth Form courses have minimum entry requirements of at least five GCSEs at grade C/4 or above, including English Language and Maths. • GCSE Maths and Science (Double Science or two 'traditional' sciences) at grade 6.
• Three x 2 hour exams • Paper 1 and Paper 2, 35% each, and Paper 3, 30%. • You will complete 12 compulsory practicals over the two years and a number of skills will be assessed by your teacher. This will make up the practical endorsement (CPAC).
