AQA AS & A-Level Chemistry Year 1 Complete Physical Chemistry Notes | Written by an A* Student
Complete 85-page set of handwritten revision notes covering Year 1 Physical Chemistry for AQA A-Level Chemistry, written by a student who achieved an A* in A-Level Chemistry. The notes cover major Year 1 Physical Chemistry topics, including: Atomic structure and subatomic particles Isotopes and relative atomic mass Time-of-flight mass spectrometry Electron configurations and ionisation energies Amount of substance and the mole Avogadro’s constant Empirical and molecular formulae Balanced equations and reacting quantities Ionic, covalent and metallic bonding Shapes of molecules and bond angles Electronegativity and bond polarity Intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonding Energetics and enthalpy changes Calorimetry calculations Hess’s law and enthalpy cycles Mean bond enthalpy calculations Rates of reaction and collision theory Activation energy and catalysts Dynamic equilibrium and Le Chatelier’s principle Equilibrium constants Oxidation, reduction and oxidation states Worked calculations and exam-style questions The content is presented in a clear, organised and exam-focused format. It includes detailed explanations, diagrams, essential equations, calculation methods, worked examples and practice questions. The notes are designed to help students understand the reasoning behind difficult Physical Chemistry concepts and develop a reliable method for completing calculations, rather than simply memorising formulas. Ideal for: Learning and consolidating Year 1 Physical Chemistry Revising for topic tests, mocks and final examinations Improving confidence with multi-step calculations Reviewing definitions, equations and calculation methods Understanding challenging topics such as energetics and equilibrium Students aiming for a high grade in AQA A-Level Chemistry You will receive one digital PDF containing 85 pages of carefully scanned handwritten notes. Please note: These are independent student-created revision notes and are not official AQA materials. For the best results, use them alongside the latest AQA specification and past-paper mark schemes.
