Chemistry is the study of matter and energy and the interaction between them. There are many reasons to study Chemistry, even if you aren’t pursuing a career in science. Chemistry is everywhere in the world around you! It’s in the food you eat, clothes you wear, water you drink, medicines, air, cleaners - you name it. Chemistry sometimes is called the “central science” because it connects other sciences to each other, such as Biology, Physics, Geology and Environmental Science. Chemistry is a well respected A’ level that can open up many pathways for the future from medicine, to patent law, forensic science or farming.
5 GCSE grades 4-9 including English Language. Maths grade 6 plus GCSE Chemistry grade 6 or Science Trilogy 6,6.
There are three exams at the end of the two years for A’ level, all of which are two hours long. At least 15% of the marks for A’ level Chemistry are based on what you learn in your practicals. • Paper 1: Physical and Inorganic Chemistry • Paper 2: Physical and Organic Chemistry • Paper 3: Applied and Practical Chemistry Physical Chemistry includes work on: atomic structure, amount of substance, bonding, energetics, thermodynamics, kinetics, chemical equilibrium and acid base chemistry. Inorganic Chemistry includes work on: redox, periodicity, Group 2 the alkaline earth metals, Group 7(17) the halogens, electrode potentials and electrochemical cells, period 3 elements and their oxides, and properties and reactions of transition metals. Organic Chemistry includes work on: alkanes, halogenoalkanes, alkenes, alcohols, organic analysis, optical isomerism, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids and derivatives, aromatic chemistry, amines, polymers, amino acids, proteins and DNA, organic synthesis, NMR spectroscopy and chromatography.
