Chemistry of the atmosphere - structure strips

(0)
Structure strips for the AQA GCSE Chemistry topic “Chemical of the atmosphere”. Structure strips go into the margin of an exercise book and students write in their answers beside each question. This is one of a series of structure strips that I have made for the new 2016 GCSE specification. There are 25 questions within the structure strips and answers are included.

This is one of a series of structure strips that I have made for the new 2016 GCSE specification. There are 28 questions within the structure strips and answers are included.
Electrolysis quiz
polarity24polarity24

Electrolysis quiz

(0)
A traffic lights quiz on the GCSE Chemistry topic of electrolysis. Can be used as a plenary to test students knowledge. Includes questions on electrolysis, electrolytes, anode, cathode, oxidation, reduction and ionic equations. Suitable for the new 2018 GCSE specifications. Answers are included.
Starter activity: Rank the defintion of transition metals
polarity24polarity24

Starter activity: Rank the defintion of transition metals

(0)
A Starter activity on the A-Level Chemistry topic Transition metals. Students are given several definitions of a transition metal and need to rank them in order, giving explanations why why they have done it in that order. An excellent activity that challenges their understanding on the structure of transition metals and works well as a discussion starter for the lesson.
Transition metals - spider diagrams
polarity24polarity24

Transition metals - spider diagrams

(0)
An A-Level Chemistry resource illustrating the reactions of the transition metals as spider diagrams (with ligands like hydroxide ions, ammonia, chloride ions etc). The first resource is spider diagrams which students have to fill in (in word format and prints out automatically in A3 from your computer). To accompany the feedback of answers, an animated Power Point is also included allowing the teacher to go through the answers in more depth, with each answer fading into view on a mouse click. Includes reactions of Copper(II), Chromium(III), Iron(II) and (III) and cobalt(II). The resource is editable and answers are included to every spider diagram in Power Point format.
Organic chemistry reactions and conditions
polarity24polarity24

Organic chemistry reactions and conditions

(0)
An A-Level Chemistry resource on the reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alcohols and halogenoalkanes. Students have to complete the tables using their knowledge of reactions, conditions and reaction type. Suitable for the new 2015 A-Level Chemistry syllabuses. Answers are included.
Mass spectra fragmentation table
polarity24polarity24

Mass spectra fragmentation table

(0)
A Mass Spectra fragmentation table illustrating both the radicals lost and the ion responsible for the m/z values given. Helps students analyse a mass spectra.
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.
Oxidation and reduction knowledge organiser
polarity24polarity24

Oxidation and reduction knowledge organiser

(0)
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.
Kinetics knowledge organiser
polarity24polarity24

Kinetics knowledge organiser

(0)
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.
Transition metal complex colours
polarity24polarity24

Transition metal complex colours

(1)
A resource for the AQA A-Level Chemistry syllabus on colours of transition metals. Students cut and stick the transition metal complexes and match them up to their colours.
Amino acids knowledge organiser
polarity24polarity24

Amino acids knowledge organiser

(0)
