Trilogy:
This topic looks at how metals and non-metals bond together by transferring electrons and the reactivity of group 1 and group 7 Triple: Topic 1: This topic looks at how metals and non-metals bond together by transferring electrons. It builds on electronic structure studied in year 9 and the idea that all atoms want to have a stable electronic structure like the Noble Gases. The reactivity of group 1 and group 7 are looked at here in relation to how easily they lose or gain electrons and form ions. Numerous examples of ionic compounds are studied to enable students to recognise lowest ratios of ions in a giant ionic lattice. Topic 2: This topic builds upon group 7 understanding studied in the previous lessons, looking at how non-metal atoms share electrons to form covalent substances. This includes understanding the difference in properties of simple covalent molecules and giant covalent structures. Allotropes of carbon are compared in terms of bonding, structures, properties and uses. For the triple chemistry course students also understand what nanoparticles are and how their properties differ from the properties of the same materials in bulk. Their uses and possible dangers are also evaluated. |
Trilogy:
This topic builds upon group 7 looking at how non metal atoms share electrons to form covalent substances. Triple: This topic is looking at what crude oil is and how we separate it into useful fractions for us to use. Students will learn about the chemistry of a group of compounds called hydrocarbons and the trends in properties of these. Students will also gain an understanding of how larger hydrocarbon molecules are cracked to produce smaller, more useful molecules. This topic also links in with The Atmosphere topic which is studied later in the year. Reactions of alkenes are also studied as part of the triple chemistry course, in particular addition polymerisation and addition reactions involving Halogens, Hydrogen and steam. |
Trilogy:
This topic is looking at what crude oil is and how we separate it into useful fractions for us to use. Triple: This topic builds on students understanding of the structure and properties of ionic compounds. Students will understand the process of electrolysis, the difference in products formed when melts or aqueous solutions are electrolysed and be able to identify products formed when different aqueous solutions are electrolysed. This topic also links to Earth’s Resources topic as the extraction of aluminium uses electrolysis. |
Trilogy:
This topic looks at the process of electrolysis. Triple: This topic covers how the properties of metals relate to the bonding within them and how we extract metals from ores in the Earth’s crust. Due to the environmental impact of mining, students look at why we should recycle metals and investigate new ways of extracting copper from low grade ores. In the triple chemistry course students also look at corrosion of metals, the conditions needed for rusting of iron/steel to occur and the different ways that we can prevent corrosion. |

This topic covers the theories about how the Earth’s early atmosphere formed and what happened to enable today’s atmosphere to develop. Triple: This topic links in with extraction of metals and crude oil already covered in year 10. Students look at how we use resources from the Earth and how we can try to conserve finite resources by reusing and recycling. Waste Water Treatment and how we can obtain potable water is also studied by students. |
