This document provides a comprehensive summary of Units 1-14 of OCR A Level Chemistry, covering key foundational topics essential for exam success: Unit 1 - Moles, Equations, and Acids: Focuses on the mole concept, stoichiometry, and acid-base reactions. It covers calculations involving moles, concentration, and key equations. Unit 2 - Atomic Structure: Explores the structure of atoms, electron configurations, and atomic models. Key concepts include isotopes, ionization energy, and periodic trends. Unit 3 - Chemical Bonding and Structure: Examines ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding, as well as molecular geometry and crystal structures, providing insight into how bonding influences physical properties. Unit 4 - The Periodic Table: Focuses on periodic trends, such as atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity, and explores the properties of elements in specific groups. Unit 5 - Group 2 and Redox: Covers the chemistry of Group 2 elements, including their reactions and trends, alongside redox chemistry principles, including oxidation states and redox reactions. Unit 6 - Group 7 (not previously covered): Examines halogens' chemical properties and reactivity trends. Unit 8 - Rates of Reaction: Explores the factors affecting reaction rates, including concentration, temperature, and catalysts, with an emphasis on rate equations and the collision theory. Unit 9 - Enthalpy: Focuses on enthalpy changes, Hess’s Law, bond enthalpies, and calorimetry, providing key insights into energy changes during chemical reactions. Unit 10 - Introduction to Organic Chemistry: Covers the basics of organic chemistry, including functional groups, isomerism, and organic reaction mechanisms, setting the foundation for more advanced organic topics. Unit 11a - Alkanes: Discusses the structure, properties, and reactions of alkanes, including free radical substitution and industrial applications such as catalytic cracking. Unit 11b - Alkenes: Examines the structure and reactivity of alkenes, focusing on electrophilic addition reactions, polymerization, and the concept of stereoisomerism. Unit 12 - Haloalkanes: Covers the properties, preparation, and reactivity of haloalkanes, including nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions, along with their environmental significance. Unit 13 - Alcohols: Focuses on alcohols' structure, classification, preparation, and reactivity, including oxidation, esterification, and their role in industry and fuel. Unit 14 - Analytical Techniques: Explores key techniques for identifying chemical compounds, including infrared (IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chromatography.
