A-level Chemistry provides a deep understanding of chemical principles and their applications. It covers key topics such as Atomic Structure, Bonding, Energetics, Kinetics, Equilibria, Redox, Organic Chemistry, and Analytical Techniques. Students also develop practical skills through required experiments, which are assessed via written exams and a separate practical endorsement. The course emphasizes mathematical competence, scientific inquiry, and critical thinking. Assessment includes three written papers testing theoretical knowledge, data analysis, and practical understanding. This specification prepares students for further study in chemistry and related fields, including medicine, engineering, and environmental science.
