Why choose this course? A Level Chemistry attempts to answer the big question ‘What is the world made of’. It’s the search for this answer that makes this subject so fascinating. From investigating how one substance can be changed drastically into another, to researching a new wonder drug to save millions of lives, the opportunities that chemistry provides are endless. What will I learn about? Year 12 ● Physical chemistry: Atomic structure, amount of substance, bonding, energetics, kinetics, chemical equilibria, and Le Chatelier’s principle ● Inorganic chemistry: Including periodicity, Group 2 the alkaline earth metals, Group 7(17) the halogens ● Organic chemistry: Introduction to organic chemistry, alkanes, halogenoalkanes, alkenes, alcohols, organic analysis Year 13 ● Physical chemistry: Atomic structure, amount of substance, bonding, energetics, kinetics, chemical equilibria and Le Chatelier’s principle ● Inorganic chemistry: Including periodicity, Group 2 the alkaline earth metals, Group 7(17) the halogens ● Organic chemistry: Introduction to organic chemistry, alkanes, halogenoalkanes, alkenes, alcohols, organic analysis Throughout the course, you will complete a range of practical activities including: ● Measuring energy changes in chemical reactions ● Tests for identifying different types of compound ● Preparation of organic solids and liquids
At least five GCSE passes or equivalent in five different subjects. Minimum grade 7 in GCSE Chemistry or GCSE Combined Science and grade 7 GCSE Maths due to significant mathematical application.
There is no coursework on this course. However, your performance during practical activities will be assessed. There are three exams at the end of the two years for A Level, all of which are two hours long.
