At AS, students will use ideas about atomic structure, bonding and the Periodic Table to develop their understanding of a range of chemical reactions, They will also study aspects of organic chemistry, energetics and reaction rates. Students will study the mole concept as the focus of quantitative analysis, whilst qualitative work will centre on basic chemical tests and modern instrumental techniques. At A2, students will continue to develop their understanding of organic chemistry through the study of more complex molecules, including those based on ring structures. There will be an increasing emphasis on chemical synthesis. Work on reaction rates, energetics, pH and chemical equilibria will become more quantitative in nature. Students will be introduced to the chemistry of the transition metals and will study more advanced analytical techniques such as n.m.r. Throughout both courses, the topics studied will be related to real-life applications, with an emphasis on the development of critical thinking
