A worksheet/activity to practice identifying the structures of compounds based on IR and proton/carbon-13 NMR information. Questions are designed to test student's understanding of the two techniques and to help them piece together the structures of compounds based on the numbers of peaks present in their NMR spectra. Answers are included.

A lesson to cover the AQA GCSE Chemistry and Science Trilogy Section 5.1 on Atomic Structure. This includes a PowerPoint containing a elements anagram starter, the key lesson concepts and a plenary on working out numbers of sub-atomic particles. Three worksheets/activities are attached to practice calculating the numbers of protons, electrons and neutrons in an atom (these could be used as homework tasks for higher tier students). A more simple homework (more suitable for foundation tier) is also included.

Key words and definitions for AQA AS and Year One Chemistry. In the key words and definitions file, the key words and definitions are attached but could be easily separated to produce a sort card activity or used as is for general revision. The pairs memory file contains the same key words and definitions but are separated to use as a matching activity. Definitions include oxidising agent, reducing agent, oxidation, reduction, electrophile, nucleophile, standard enthalpy of combustion, standard enthalpy of formation, hydration, substitution reaction, structural isomers, stereoisomers, mean bond enthalpy, enthalpy change, Hess’s law, activation energy, electronegativity, hydrolysis, addition reaction and elimination reaction.

The seven files listed contain 7 different questions to assess learning of the fundamentals of Atomic Structure. They are set up to be printed on 21 labels per page sticky label sheets. These can be used in conjunction with diagnostic homework - for example, if students have incorrectly answered a question on the charges on sub-atomic particles or mass numbers, these can be used to supplement and reinforce any corrections to be made upon student feedback.

This is a worksheet revising the production of ethanol by fermentation versus direct hydration of ethene with steam, oxidation and associated chemical tests of the oxidation products. Answers included.

This is a booklet designed for use by either teachers teaching this topic for the first time or by students as a work booklet to support independent learning tasks or revision for the topic. The booklet covers the AQA specification and includes sections on the Bronsted-Lowry definitions of acids and bases, calculating the pH of strong acids, the ionic product of water, calculating the pH of strong bases and calculating the pH of the resulting solution when strong acids and strong bases are added together in titrations. The text includes explanations of the theory behind each section of the topic and has supporting worked examples and exercises. The answers to the exercises are included at the end of the booklet.

This worksheet enables students to practice IUPAC naming and drawing the chain isomers of alkanes and drawing pairs of E-Z stereoisomers for alkenes. Questions also cover isomers of alkenes that do not show E-Z stereoisomerism. Answers included.

A worksheet comprising of 5 questions that requires students to practice calculating moles and empirical formula to write balance equations for the reactions occurring. Answers included.

This resource contains 14 exam-style empirical formula questions with accompanying answers. The questions contain a range of 2, 3 and 4 element-containing compounds and uses both masses and percentages. Harder questions require the student to work out how much oxygen has been added to the compound via combustion before the empirical formula can be calculated.

This worksheet contains questions covering the four general word equations for neutralising acids, naming salts, identifying the other products of neutralisation (water, hydrogen or carbon dioxide), identifying gases, salts, acids, alkalis and bases from equations, and practice at writing the ionic formulae of salts and metal carbonates.

The four files listed contain 4 different questions to assess learning of the fundamentals of Structure and Bonding. They are set up to be printed on 21 labels per page sticky label sheets. These can be used in conjunction with diagnostic homework - for example, if students have incorrectly answered a question on ionic or covalent bonding, these can be used to supplement and reinforce any corrections to be made upon student feedback. Bonding 1 looks at basic bonding questions for ammonia and Bonding 2 does the same for lithium fluoride. Bonding 3 asks students to draw the electrons arrangements for the atom and then the ion formed, working out the charges the ions end up with. Bonding 4 requires students to explain and describe the type of bonding in different substances.

A revision activity for learning and practicing free-radical substitution reactions. The above resources are needed along with a set of lollipop sticks. The stickers document contains 3 halogens (fluorine, chlorine and bromine - labelled as A, B and C) and 10 alkanes/halogenoalkanes (labelled 1 to 10) for the halogen to react with. Each pair or group of students should have a set of lollipop sticks containing 9 sticks with halogens printed or written on them (3 of each halogen) and one each of the 10 alkanes/halogenoalkanes. The sticks could be colour coded by adding a stripe of colour or washi tape around the top edge for ease of seeing. Students pick one halogen and one alkane/halogenoalkane and write the full mechanism including the initiation, propagation and termination steps. The answers are provided on 8 answer sheets which are set up to be printed on sticky labels (4 per sheet) or directly onto card to be cut up into A6 size. The cards could be ring bound (30 cards in total) to give one complete set of answers (A1-A10, B1 -B10 and C1-C10). Students can self-assess their answers. All combinations of answers included.

This resource contains 14 practice questions. Four questions are based on interpreting dot-and-cross diagrams for ionic compounds and focuses on students explaining, in terms of electrons, how atoms react. The other ten questions are additional examples of simple covalent molecules that students could be asked to apply their knowledge of completing dot-and-cross diagrams to, for example hydrogen sulphide, iodine, silicon tetrahydride, ethane etc. These resources are provided in label format with 4 identical questions per sheet. These can be printed simply on A4 paper or can alternatively be printed on 4 per sheet labels and used as a diagnostic question for homework or to reinforce key concepts before the final exam.

Revision notes for AQA GCSE 9-1 Chemistry for Paper 1. Includes C1 Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table, C2 Structure, bonding and properties of matter, C3 Quantitative Chemistry, C4 Chemical Changes and C5 Energy Changes. Full coverage of all material and 4 required practicals needed for Paper 1 of the GCSE specification.

This resource consists of 3 PowerPoint presentations and 1 worksheet guiding students in how to predict the mass spectra of the diatomic molecules chlorine and bromine. This leads students through using simple probability to calculate the ratio of the 3 molecular ion peak heights and in sketching the spectra of chlorine and bromine. Also included are 2 application questions requiring students to apply their knowledge of probability in predicting the mass spectra of oxygen and nitrogen molecules.

A selection of exam-style questions based on TOF principles and a range of potential calculations for this topic based on the AQA TOF content. This could be used either in-class as a summary of the entire topic or as a homework to diagnostically assess student’s progress.
