Here I have designed a task for A-level pupils to analyse and decipher the structures of 8 molecules. They are given the empirical formula, the MS, the IR and the H1NMR. This is all the information they require. The answers are below: 1. Ethanol 2. Propionic acid 3. Acetone 4. Methyl propionate 5. Ethyl acetate 6. Ethanal 7. Toluene 8. 2-Butanol. * In the answers I haven't necessarily used the IUPAC names. Tweet me @Mr_S_WHSG if I have made any errors!

I made this Powerpoint for a revision course for A2 chemists in Easter. It is specifically designed for OCR Salters B Chemistry. The topics that it covers are: - Transition metals and ligands. - Rates of reaction calculations. - Redox Calculations. - Equilibrium. - pH calculations and buffer solutions. - Arenes and azo dyes. = Polymer properties. N.B. If I have used anyone else's content inappropriately pleases notify me and I shall rectify. I have certainly used content gained else-ware as well as my own - please notify me so I can give credit where it is due.

This booklet contains a thorough worked example through the steps to determining the structure of an organic compound. The steps included are : Elemental analysis (to determine empirical formula) Mass spec (to determine molecular formula) Calculating double bond equivalents (often overlooked at A-Level, but very useful). IR and chemical tests to determine functional groups present. NMR problem solving to determine overall structure. The worked example is in table format, with a guide and model response. There are 5 practice problems with answers. I have used it to teach AQA and OCR A, but it probably works with all exam boards.

PowerPoint presentation for topics within the Alkenes [3.3.4] section. Included is this pack is: 3.3.4.2. Addition reactions of alkenes These presentations include*: - Slides that have been created from scratch by an experienced A-Level teacher. - Up-to-date information for the new course based on the specification and exam paper questions. - Key points, common errors and definitions. - Detailed theory, designed, on occasion to go beyond the specification to stretch the most able. - Worked examples, practice questions, exam-style questions and animated diagrams. - Slides that are mostly designed to minimise the amount of printing required in lessons. *Not every presentation will necessarily include all of the above, however across the entire course of presentations this is what to expect. Check back for updates as I continue to teach the course, the resource will always improve.

Spec 1.3.1-2 Transition metals (Recommended Teaching time – 1 hour) Lesson preparation: Demonstration: Have some examples of transition metals to show the class. I recommend the Chemsheets worksheet called Where in the periodic table Suggested teaching: Slide 2: Starter questions (Differentiated alternative on slide 4) Slide 5: Periodic table recap questions Slide 7: A recap of the groups of the periodic table, showing where the transition metals are Slide 8: Demonstration of some transition metals. Slide 9: Task where students realise that they can’t work out the charge on the ion that transition metals form (also allows recap of working out charges on ions) Slide 11-13: Going through the other key features of transition metals. Slide 14: Opportunity to discuss the difference between physical and chemical properties while comparing the transition metals to the alkali metals.

Spec 1.2.5 The alkali metals (Two hours suggested teaching time) Lesson preparation: [Demonstration] The physical properties and reactions of the alkali metals Could print the table on slide 11 Could print the exam questions on slide 21 Suggested teaching: Lesson 1: Slides 2-4: Retrieval practice starter (slide 4 is an optional and differentiated alternative starter). Slide 5-6: Recap of forming ions with a focus on the group 1 elements. Slides 7-8: (Hidden) Alternative recap, potentially for lower ability students on electron configurations. Slide 9-11: Here you can demonstrate the properties and reactions of the alkali metals. If materials are unavailable, students could compare the animations of the reactions on slide 10. There is a table on slide 11 to record their observations. Lesson 2: Slides 12-14: Retrieval practice starter (slide 4 is an optional and differentiated alternative starter). Slides 15-16: A recap of the observations and reactions of the alkali metals. Slides 17-20: Explaining the reactivity of the alkali metals, with a selection of differentiated slides to help.
