A2 Chemistry

Welcome to the A2 chemistry page


Here you will find a break down of the course, how it is examined, some useful overviews of the course material and alternative sources to help you revise.


Taken from the AQA specification for 2014, the following table shows the breakdown of raw marks obtainable from each paper, the duration of the exam and the contribution towards your final A-level award.









Unit 4: 


complete notes for unit 4  with powerpoints that are used in class to re-cover material in your own time. 
Here is a breakdown of the contents available:
  • kinetics
  • equilibria
  • acids and bases
  • organic synthesis
  • carbonyl compounds
  • benzene chemistry
  • amines
  • amino acids
  • polymers
