- Created for AQA GCSE Chemistry students
- Developed by an experienced chemistry teacher
- Aligned with the official specification
Paper One
ATOMIC STRUCTURE AND THE PERIODIC TABLE
GCSE revision on atomic structure and the periodic table: covering subatomic particles, electronic structure and shells, isotopes, relative mass/calculations, how to draw atom diagrams, and the development of atomic models with examples and explanations.
BONDING, STRUCTURE AND THE PROPERTIES OF MATTER
A GCSE Chemistry revision page on acids, bases and indicators explaining key ideas such as pH, acid and alkali ions, indicator colour changes, dilute vs concentrated definitions, reactions with metals/carbonates, tests for gases, and neutralisation ionic equations.
QUANTITATIVE CHEMISTRY
A GCSE chemistry revision page showing core chemical change practicals, including making salts from insoluble or soluble reactants and investigating pH changes with practical steps, key observations, and variables for experiments.
CHEMICAL CHANGES
This page is an Edexcel GCSE revision page explaining electrolysis, including definitions of electrolytes and electrolysis, ion movement at electrodes, making pure copper, the electrolysis core practical with variables and risks, predicting products, and writing half-equations.
ENERGY CHANGES
A GCSE revision page explaining metals and equilibria including reactivity of metals, extraction, displacement reactions, and dynamic equilibrium concepts with practical examples and explanations of how systems respond to changes.
Paper Two
THE RATE AND EXTENT OF CHEMICAL CHANGE
A GCSE chemistry revision page on groups in the periodic table covering the alkali metals’ properties and reactivity trends, noble gas inertness and uses, halogen states and reactivity patterns, reactions with metals, and displacement trends down group 7.
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
A GCSE revision page on rates of reaction and energy changes including practical methods for measuring rate, collision theory, factors affecting rate, interpreting rate graphs, catalysts, activation energy, reaction profiles, and calculations of rate and energy change.
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
A GCSE chemistry revision page on hydrocarbons covering alkanes and alkenes, combustion reactions, cracking to produce smaller alkanes and alkenes, and how these reactions relate to fuel properties and chemical behaviour with examples and explanations.
CHEMISTRY OF THE ATMOSPHERE
A GCSE chemistry revision page on the Earth’s atmosphere, explaining composition and changes over time, greenhouse gases and global warming, formation of pollutants from combustion, carbon footprint ideas, and methods to reduce gas emissions.
USING RESOURCES
GCSE revision page on ions and materials covering flame tests, hydroxide precipitates, tests for ammonium, carbonates, sulfates and halides, an ions core practical, instrumental analysis (flame photometry), plus nanoparticles, ceramics, composites and choosing materials based on properties.
A complete AQA GCSE Chemistry revision hub with topic-by-topic links, summaries and worked examples to support your revision for exams.
