A lesson that covers atomic structure. It goes through protons, neutrons and electrons; what an isotope is and how to work out the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom and ion. Questions and answers are on the slides for students to work through – no printing required. Designed for the OCR A Level specification.

A lesson on rates and the Boltzmann Distribution for the new OCR A level specification. The lesson reviews the factors that impact a rate of reaction (concentration, temperature, pressure, surface area) and then goes over how to draw Boltzmann distributions for different conditions (e.g. different temperatures). All questions are on the slide so no printing required.
