Students will study for three examined components, Periodic Table, Elements and Physical Chemistry; Synthesis and Analytic Techniques and Unified Chemistry. The fourth component is the Practical Endorsement in Chemistry and is reported separately. Module 1: Development of practical skills in Chemistry includes practical skills in a written examination and practical skills assessed in the practical endorsement. Module 2: Foundations in Chemistry includes: atoms, compounds, molecules and equations, amount of substance, acid-base and redox reactions, electrons, bonding and structure. Module 3: Periodic table and energy includes: the periodic table and periodicity, group 2 and the halogens, qualitative analysis, enthalpy changes, reaction rates and equilibrium (qualitative). Module 4: Core organic chemistry includes: basic concepts, hydrocarbons, alcohols and haloalkanes, organic synthesis, analytical techniques (IR and MS) Module 5: Physical chemistry and transition elements includes: 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 includes: aromatic compounds, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acids and esters, nitrogen compounds, polymers, organic synthesis and chromatography and spectroscopy (NMR).

Paper 1 - Periodic table, elements and physical chemistry is a written examination covering units 1, 2, 3 and 5 (2 hours 15 minutes). Weighting = 37% of A Level marks. Paper 2 - Synthesis and analytical techniques is a written examination covering units 1,2, 4 and 6 (2 hours 15 minutes). Weighting = 37% of A Level marks. Paper 3 - Unified Chemistry is a written examination on all units (1 hour 30 minutes). Weighting = 26% of A Level marks. Practical endorsement in Chemistry is internally assessed (throughout the whole course within lessons). Performance is reported separately to the A Level grade as either a pass or fail.
