Y12 Chemistry

Chemistry is about understanding the properties of different substances and how these substances can change. Chemistry allows us to predict how substances may alter when the surrounding conditions change, or how they may react to form new substances, and to explain why this happens. Chemists are continually changing matter into new and more useful forms. The fundamental aims of chemistry in year 12 are expressed as a series of the following achievement standards;

• AS91161 2.1 Carry out quantitative analysis.

• AS91162 2.2 Carry out procedures to identify ions present in solution

• AS91164 2.4 Demonstrate understanding of bonding, structure, properties and energy changes.

• AS91165 2.5 Demonstrate understanding of the properties of selected organic compounds.

• AS91167 2.7 Demonstrate understanding of oxidation–reduction.
