Expected change
- Use periodic patterns and structure–property relationships to explain inorganic chemistry.
- Compare metal reactivity, extraction, corrosion and material choices using chemical and environmental evidence.
- Trace organic families, reactions and polymers through clear formulae and reaction conditions.
- Select and justify separation, identification and qualitative-analysis methods.
- Plan fair investigations and produce reliable tables, graphs, conclusions and evaluations.
- Integrate the complete 0620 syllabus under Core or Extended examination conditions.
Entry check
