A-Level Chemistry - complete revision package

(1)
A complete revision package of over 100 A-Level Chemistry resources with coverage of the A-Level Chemistry topics suitable for AQA, Edexcel or OCR syllabuses (periodic table, amount of substance, redox equations, organic chemistry, acid base equilibria, shapes of molecules, pVnRT, percentage uncertainty, qualitative tests, NMR, IR, mass spec, titrations, Gibbs free energy, Grignard, electrolysis, equilibrium, enthalpy, entropy, born haber, isotopes, kinetics, transition metals, Ecell etc and much more). The resources include knowledge organisers, cue cards, revision quizzes, mind maps, worksheets, cut and stick, group work activities, co-operative learning activities, quizzes, differentiated worksheets, interactive PowerPoints etc. These resources can be used to accompany a lesson on the topic or as part of a revision lesson. Due to the large quantity of files they have been attached as a Zip file.
Born Haber cycles & lattice energies - complete topic
polarity24polarity24

Born Haber cycles & lattice energies - complete topic

(0)
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.
Thermal decomposition of carbonates and nitrates (group 1 and 2)
polarity24polarity24

Thermal decomposition of carbonates and nitrates (group 1 and 2)

(0)
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.
