This area of A-Level Chemistry concerns itself with a great many things, including electron structure, bonding, and even some quantative chemistry for good measure. You will learn about all the fundamental concepts that provide explainations for and are auseful tool to go along with the rest of your study.
| Particles | Fundamental particles (neutron, proton, electron) and mass spectrometry (ionisation, etc.). |
| Amount of Substance | Calculations in chemistry learn about moles, ideal gas equation, RAM. |
| Periodicity | Trends across the periods in atomic radius, conductivity and electronegativity. |
| Group II | Trends; reactions with water of alkaline earth metals; solubility of their hydroxides & sulphates. |
| Bonding | Different ways molecules stick together: ionic, covalent and metallic bonding; properties and how. |
| Intermolecular Forces | Types of bonding between molecules: Van der Waals, dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding. |
| Electrons | Electrons arrangment, Hund's maximum multiplicity rule, ionisation energy. |
| States and Shapes | Molecular and macromolecular molecules, bond angles, molecule shapes, electron pair repulsion. |
