Transition Metals - look at these summary videos to supplement the work in class
Spring Revision - Outline Plan for lessons. Make sure you get the correct plan for your group!
Born Haber Homework - due in on Thursday 15th March - both groups
|
|
Organic Revision - as part of the revision programme we will have a short organic test each week, based on recall / simple understanding. The test will be no longer than 15 minutes and be peer assessed, though we will log the marks. The timings for the tests are below. 13F tests will be on Monday, 13B on Thursday.
Tuesdays 6th Feb P3
Questions on pH for completion in today's lesson and to be finished for homework. You will have to research the part of question about indicators, as we've not yet covered this directly in class.

Equilibrium Homework - due in Wed 7th Feb (both groups)
|
|
Both year 13 groups today (Thurs 18th) - make notes on Kp, molefractions and partial pressures ready for next lesson.
3rd Jan 2018 - Redox Chemistry
Revision summary including how to determine oxidation states, disproportionation reactions and balancing redox equations. Watch, summarize and practice using questions in text book or past papers.

2nd Jan 2018 - Using the Ideal Gas Equation to find the molar mass of a gas
The video shows how to use pV=nRT to find the molar mass of a gas, a common problem at GCE level. It's short and uses SI units. Lots of the US videos online use a variety of non SI units - AVOID THESE!!
Go through the video then go back to you text book to check you can do the examples in topic 5 |

2nd Jan 2018 Electronegativity
Go through the help sheet below (from www.knockhardy.co.uk) and use it to check your understanding of electronegativity. Use highlighters (or highlighter tool if using the pdf) to mark ideas as red, amber, or green, depending on your level of understanding. Then go through the sheet again to improve amber/red areas. Check understanding with questions on sheet and from text book.

1st Jan 2018 - Free radical substitution of alkanes
Follow the link below to the animation that shows the steps for the free radical substitution of halogens to alkanes
http://www.knockhardy.org.uk/mechfrs.htm
After viewing the animation;
http://www.knockhardy.org.uk/mechfrs.htm
After viewing the animation;
- rewatch it and write / record a commentary to explain what happens in each step
- write equations for each step
- write equations for each step, but using different alkanes / halogens
- write equations to show how further substitution can occur (e.g. to form a dihaloalkane)
31st December - NYE Shapes of Molecules Quiz - who says revision isn't fun, fun, fun?

30th December - Summary of Bonding and Structure (Topic 2)
This summary goes through all the basics of bonding and structure from GCSE and Year 12 and introduces other ideas such as shapes of molecules and intermolecular forces, which are then used throughout the course. Got through it in small chunks, making bullet point notes / mind maps etc. Then check your understanding by trying out the questions at the end of topic 2 in your text book (link to answers further down this page).

29th Dec Organic Chemistry Summary - part 2
As promised yesterday - covers the rest of the organic content from year 12, mainly based around reactions of haloalkanes and reactions of alcohols. Don't just stare at it - do something with it e.g. summary mind maps, mechanism descriptions as well as drawings, but above all refer back to it when answering questions.

|
28th Dec Organic Chemistry Summary - part 1
Bit of an epic this one, but this presentation is a summary of all the hydrocarbon organic chemistry from year 12, up to and including polymers. Go through it in small chunks making notes/mind maps as you go. Refer back to it when answering questions from the sample papers. Part 2 will be up tomorrow, covering haloalkanes and alcohols.

27th December - Electrophilic addition of HBr to alkenes
Watch the video on the right and then;

|
As promised - chemistry revision each day from 26/12 onwards!!
Watch the video on the right and make summary cards on
Once you've made the cards, try out the questions on the three sample papers on arenes (benzene and benzene-related compounds). Mark scheme for the first paper is on the Edexcel website. |

Mock Exam 2018
The mock in January will be based to paper 2 which covers the work we have done since the start of term. Opposite is a screengrab from the specification outlining which topics are examined on the paper.
if you haven't already downloaded the specification to use as part of your revision checklist, then it's below.

Legacy Past Papers
Lots of AQA stuff here;
https://freeexampapers.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=101&jsmallfib=1&dir=JSROOT/A-Level/Chemistry/AQA/2420
2009-2014 are most useful, especially CHEM4 which always has an NMR question
OCR A here;
http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/as-a-level-gce-chemistry-a-h034-h434/
F324 has loads of organic chemistry, nearly always an NMR
Edexcel here;

Units 1 and 2 especially useful for revision of tear 12 content
There really is no excuse to not be using these papers as part of your personal revision!! Get cracking
Message from Jen: Hi year 13, I know that you tend to check this more regullary than smart homework. I have not forgotten the homework that was due in while I was off. Part of this homework was to join the Google classroom (details shared in class and on Smart homework). Some of you still haven't done this. I am now able to invite students to join and I have done this. Remember the homework for this week! And join the Google classroom.
Class code chcxoh. Go to the Brookvale Groby website.
Cover (Flip Learning) work for Dave - Wednesday 8th November
Both groups - make notes on 1H (proton) NMR spectroscopy using you text book and /or www.chemguide.co.uk. Include information on chemical shifts, areas under peaks and splitting patterns
Also watch (and make notes on) this video tutorial (see link) - don't worry that it is titled for AQA - all A level specifications are very similar for NMR.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeTbWAqtLos
This means we should get onto NMR problem solving in next week's lessons
