OCR A AS Chemistry Enhanced Intervention

OCR A AS Chemistry Enhanced Intervention Booklet, aimed at boosting grades and understanding.

Has a very small amount of information on each topic but then has exam style questions for students to attempt.

Topics Include:

1. Understanding and Applying Atomic Structure and Bonding
   Key Topics: Electron configuration, types of bonding (ionic, covalent, metallic), shapes of molecules, and intermolecular forces.
2. Quantitative Chemistry and Stoichiometry
   Key Topics: Moles, molar mass, Avogadro’s number, empirical and molecular formulas, stoichiometric calculations, concentration, titration calculations.
3. Energetics (Thermodynamics)
   Key Topics: Enthalpy changes (ΔH), exothermic and endothermic reactions, Hess’s Law, bond enthalpies, calorimetry.
4. Reaction Kinetics and Equilibria
   Key Topics: Rate of reaction, collision theory, activation energy, factors affecting reaction rates, dynamic equilibrium, Le Chatelier’s principle, equilibrium constants (Kc).
5. Organic Chemistry Fundamentals
   Key Topics: Functional groups, homologous series, naming organic compounds, isomerism (structural and stereoisomerism), basic reaction mechanisms (substitution, addition, elimination), organic synthesis pathways.
