Expected change
- Explain macroscopic observations using particle, atomic and bonding models.
- Write and interpret formulae, symbol equations and ionic equations with correct chemical reasoning.
- Solve mole, concentration, gas-volume and reacting-mass problems with units and sensible working.
- Connect redox, electrolysis, energy changes, rates and equilibrium to experimental evidence.
- Plan measurements, process data and evaluate limitations in the style required across Papers 1–6.
- Distinguish Core requirements from the additional depth expected on the Extended route.
Entry check
- Can complete basic arithmetic and rearrange a simple equation
- Can read axes and values from a graph
- Is beginning 0620 or needs a systematic rebuild of its foundations
- Confirms the intended Core or Extended examination route
