An A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser on oxidation and reduction. Includes information on assigning oxidation number rules, oxidation and reduction, oxidising and reducing agents, disproportionation, writing half equations (in both acidic and alkaline conditions) and combining half equations to write a full ionic equation. Suitable for all exam boards.

An A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser about Kinetics. Contains information on rates of reaction (factors that affect the rate, experimental methods, explanations of why these factor affects the rate etc.) Also contains informaiton on Maxwell Boltzmann distributions and how they are used to explain the effect of temperature and a catalyst.

An Edexcel A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser on equilibrium. Covers all the content about equilibrium from topic 10 including using Le Chatelier’s principle to determine the effect of temperature, concentration, pressure and a catalyst on the position of equilibrium. Includes examples and information about the Haber compromise. Also includes information on how to write the Kc expression.

A complete set of 9 lesson resources on the A-Level Chemistry topic of Born Haber cycles. In our college, this content is taught over three double lessons. Includes resources on sketching the cycle, (including interactive animations), how to perform the calculations using data from the cycles, definitions of lattice energy, enthalpy of formation, enthalpy of atomisation and electron affinity. Also includes the teaching of charge density (ionic radii & charge), how we use the value of lattice energies to determine complete ionic character/degree of covalent bonding and polarisation. Accompanying the Power Points, are worksheets (with answers included) and homeworks.

Eight resources on the thermal decomposition of the group 1 and 2 nitrates and carbonates. The first resource is a differentiated worksheet with the questions designed around the style of AQA, Edexcel and OCR exam papers and test students on every aspect of the topic including the reactions, observations, trends, theory of charge density/polarisation and finishes with a few questions on how we measure it experimentally. I looked at exam papers from all three exam boards when designing this resource so that it provides comprehensive coverage for my students. Answers are included. There is also a resource which goes through the qualitative observations associated with thermal decomposition of the carbonates and nitrates (what’s observed e.g limewater goes cloudy, brown gas of Nitrogen dioxide etc). I have also included a spider diagram of the reactions/observations and Power Points which explain the science behind it. There is then a hexagon activity and a challenge grid, both designed at stretching & challenging the students.

A complete set of 6 Power Points and 8 worksheets (with answers) for the A-Level Chemistry topic Transition metals. The unit of work is set out into 6 lessons each with a Power Point and worksheet (on Electronic configuration, Defining transition metals, naming and colour, complex formation, ligand reactions and formation of precipitates in transition metal reactions._ Each lessons worksheet comes with answers. The unit of work has been uploaded as a zip file.
