(0)
An Knowledge organiser on A-Level organic chemistry, the hydrocarbons (Alkanes and alkenes) including: naming, intermolecular forces, general formulae, structual & Geometric isomers, reactions of alkanes: oxidation and free radical substitution (with chlorine). Reactions of alkenes with hydrogen, bromine water, steam, hydrogen halides, potassium managanate. Covalent bonding (sigma/pi bonds), addition polymerisation, use as fuels, fractional distillation, cracking reforming etc. Mechanisms: Free radical substitution and electrophilic addition (markovnikov & the inductive effect).

Oxidation of alcohols
polarity24polarity24

Oxidation of alcohols

(0)
Two knowledge organisers on the A-level chemistry practical “oxidation of alcohols" including the oxidation of ethanol to ethanoic acid and the oxidation of butan-2-ol to butanone. The oxidation of alcohols is one of the** required practicals for A-Level Chemistry**. The knowledge organisers include the method, apparatus diagram and theory that goes with the practical. It then includes information on each stage of the process, reflux, distillation, washing, drying and redistillation. I use it in my lessons to go through the procedure in greater depth and then students refer to this when practising questions.
Atomic Structure and Periodic table knowledge organiser

Atomic Structure and Periodic table knowledge organiser

(0)
An A-Level Chemistry Knowledge organiser on topic 1 Atomic structure and periodic table. Covers information on structure of the atom, key definitions (RAM, RMM, Relative isotopic mass, Isotopes, first ionisation energy etc), Mass Spectrometry (using spectra to determine RAM), trends in ionisation energy, Using successive ionisation energies to determine the group an element is in given , electronic configuration (s,p,d), 1st ionisation energies across a period as evidence for subshells, periodicity (how type of bonding is linked to melting points) and emission spectrum.
Chemical Equilibria Kp
polarity24polarity24

Chemical Equilibria Kp

(1)
An A-Level Chemistry resource on calculating Kp (gaseous equilibria.) Requires students to calculate Kp using mole fractions and partial pressure. Answers are included. Starts with questions on the basics, calculating mole fraction and partial pressure. Then the questions increase in difficulty to exam standard Kp questions. The editable resource takes about a double lesson for students to complete and gives an example of every type of exam question that can come up on Kp.
Preparation of a pure organic liquid
polarity24polarity24

Preparation of a pure organic liquid

5 Resources
A bundle of resources on the A-Level chemistry required practicals “preparation of a pure organic liquid”. In the A-level exams students will be tested on an organic preparation and this resource helps prepare students for any of the options that could come up in the exam. There are a set of 6 knowledge organisers based on the following practicals: Oxidation of ethanol, oxidation of butan-2-ol, preparation cyclohexene, preparation of iodobutane, preparation of bromobutane and chlorination of 2-methyl-propan-2-ol. Each knoweldge organiser contains the method, apparatus diagram and additional information about the purpose of refluxing, distillation , washing, drying etc. Each step in the practical is explained.
Alcohols and halogenoalkanes knowledge organiser
polarity24polarity24

Alcohols and halogenoalkanes knowledge organiser

(0)
An A-Level Chemistry knowledge organiser on the chemistry of the halogenoalkanes and alcohols. The knowledge organisers include information on the preparation of halogenoalkanes (synthesis of bromobutane) and alcohols, functional groups tests, apparatus (reflux, distillation, separating funnel etc.) Theory about nucleophilic substitution, elimination, oxidation of alcohols etc. Mechanisms for nucleophilic substitution and elimination included.
Organic techniques - purifying organic liquids

Organic techniques - purifying organic liquids

(0)
An A-Level Chemistry resource on purification of organic liquids. The handout includes labelled diagrams and information on the organic techniques of reflux, distillation, washing and drying. Includes diagrams of heating by reflux, distillation, separating (tap) funnel and drying agent. With each diagram is information about what each technique is used for. E.g. purpose of washing with HCl, NaHCO3 or water. Purpose of a drying agent with relevant examples. Why antibumping granules are required in a pear shaped flask. Why the water goes in the bottom of a condenser and out at the top and much more. The information helps students prepare for questions on A-Level required practicals on organic chemistry.
