Just how DIFFICULT is it to study advanced high school Chemistry? (With top tips from minute 10)

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 00:15:00 +0100

Studying advanced chemistry can't really be as difficult as people make out, can it?

TLDR: Don't miss the tips that start from minute 10!

Whether you're just thinking about studying chemistry at A-Level or Highers, whether you've committed to do so, or whether you've already started your course you will be aware of all the rumours and worries about what it's like and how difficult it is.

In this episode we look at these questions and concerns about A-Level chemistry:

The chemistry is a big step up!
Is memorising the syllabus enough?
Is it starting again in chemistry?
Did GCSE chemistry lie to me?
Does getting a good GCSE grade mean I'll get a good A-Level grade?
There's a lot of calculations
The maths is very hard
the exams are very difficult and require lots of understanding

Hear my golden rule about getting all the exam marks you deserve.

I also give quick tips of what you should include in your answers.

Is A-Level Chemistry Really THAT difficult?

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 06:00:00 +0100

Studying chemistry in sixth form can't really be as difficult as people make out, can it?

In this episode we look at these questions and concerns about A-Level chemistry:

The chemistry is a big step up!
Is memorising the syllabus enough?
Is it starting again in chemistry?
Did GCSE chemistry lie to me?
Does getting a good GCSE grade mean I'll get a good A-Level grade?
There's a lot of calculations
The maths is very hard
the exams are very difficult and require lots of understanding

Hear my golden rule about getting all the exam marks you deserve.

I also give quick tips of what you should include in your answers.

Find out how I can help you throughout your chemistry A-Level here.

Bonus Episode: How to Recognise a Weak Acid?

Thu, 06 May 2021 11:00:00 +0100

This bonus episode gives you five things to look for to help you identify whether an acid is a weak acid.

Your exam question is unlikely to spell that out for you. Very unlikely indeed. Here are the simple things to look for that will put you one step ahead of the examiner!

Suggested listening:

Episode 9 which introduces the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid and defines how to calculate pH.

Episode 10 which explains the calculations required with weak acids and the acid dissociation constant, Ka.

Atomic orbitals download

In this episode, I start by giving a definition of atomic orbitals.

I talk about the different types and shapes, and explain that there are rules about which shell each orbital type can exist in.

How many orbitals of each type? We talk about that too.

What is Quantum Mechanics?

Tue, 02 Feb 2021 06:00:00 +0100

Read the article What is Quantum Mechanics and How Does it Affect the Atomic Model?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quantum mechanics is one of those phrases that makes many a chemistry student lose sleep. Because quantum mechanics, or quantum theory, is our attempt to describe the counter-intuitive behaviour of tiny particles.

In this episode, we use two analogies to explain the discontinuous nature of quantum behaviour.

From those analogies, we introduced the concept of quantum numbers. And we go into some detail of the four quantum numbers that apply to electrons, as well as introducing how these affect the structure of atoms.

How the Atomic Model Changes at A-Level

Tue, 26 Jan 2021 06:00:00 +0100

The atomic model you have been using so far is nice and basic, and simple to understand and apply. No awkward, inconsistent rules to worry about.

But it has limitations.

These limitations stop it from being useful beyond the first 20 elements, and for concepts that you are going to be using from this level.

In the advanced model you'll discover that atoms are not that 2 dimensional, "solar system" model. You'll learn that electrons exist in orbitals within the shells, and that each shell can accommodate a different number of electrons.
