AS COURSE (Year 12) At AS level you will be given a solid grounding in foundation Chemistry. The specification introduces the chemical reactivity of atoms and molecules and provides an understanding of their structures. The development and use of the periodic table is further explained. Calculations are a major part of A level Chemistry and the application of calculations to practical work is crucial. You will also study organic chemistry, collision theory, redox and the extraction of metals. The introduction of Practical Skills Assignments (PSA) into the specification allows teachers to credit students for work done in routine class practicals. |
A2 COURSE (Year 13) At A2 level the specification develops the concepts of physical chemistry introduced at AS. Students will study kinetics, equilibria, organic chemistry (including polymers) and spectroscopic techniques to determine the molecular formulae and structures of organic compounds. A study of acids and bases is also made. Students will continue to be assessed through PSA, gaining credit for work done in routine class practical.
