OCR A AS Chemistry Enhanced Intervention Booklet, aimed at boosting grades and understanding.
Has a very small amount of information on each topic but then has exam style questions for students to attempt.
Topics Include:
Understanding and Applying Atomic Structure and Bonding
Key Topics: Electron configuration, types of bonding (ionic, covalent, metallic), shapes of molecules, and intermolecular forces.
Quantitative Chemistry and Stoichiometry
Key Topics: Moles, molar mass, Avogadro’s number, empirical and molecular formulas, stoichiometric calculations, concentration, titration calculations.
Energetics (Thermodynamics)
Key Topics: Enthalpy changes (ΔH), exothermic and endothermic reactions, Hess’s Law, bond enthalpies, calorimetry.
Reaction Kinetics and Equilibria
Key Topics: Rate of reaction, collision theory, activation energy, factors affecting reaction rates, dynamic equilibrium, Le Chatelier’s principle, equilibrium constants (Kc).
Organic Chemistry Fundamentals
Key Topics: Functional groups, homologous series, naming organic compounds, isomerism (structural and stereoisomerism), basic reaction mechanisms (substitution, addition, elimination), organic synthesis pathways.
