New A Level Specifications from September 2015. The course comprises the traditional three branches of physical, inorganic and organic chemistry. First Year: Physical: Atomic structure, mole calculations, bonding, energetics, qualitative kinetics and equilibria, including Le Chatelier's Principle Inorganic: Periodicity; the chemistry of the Alkaline earth metals (group 2) and the Halogens (group 7) Organic: Alkanes, halogenoalkanes, alkenes, alcohols and organic analysis Second Year: Physical: Thermodynamics, rate equations and equilibria constant, electrode potentials and electrochemical cells. Inorganic: Period 3 elements and their oxides, transition metals, reactions of aqueous ions. Organic: Optical isomerism, carbonyls and their derivatives, aromatic chemistry, amines, amino acids and polymers, including protein and DNA, NMR spectroscopy and chromatography.
- Chemistry 7 (or Combined Science 7-7) and Mathematics 7 - At least 6 GCSE subjects at Grade 6 or above. - At least a Grade 5 in English.
Paper 1: Inorganic and physical chemistry with relevant practical skills (2 hours) 35% Paper 2: Organic, with relevant physical chemistry and practical skills (2 hours) 35% Paper 3: Practical skills (2 hours) 30% There is no separate practical exam as the practical skills will be examined within these papers. However, if 12 practical investigations are completed to a satisfactory level, this will be acknowledged by an A Level Practical Endorsement on the certificate.
