Some notes on Ligands for anyone who's interested :

Aqueous solutions of copper(II) contain the blue, octahedral hexaaquacopper(II) ion
Most substitution reactions are similar to cobalt(II).

OH¯ [Cu(H2O)6]2+(aq) + 2OH¯(aq) ——> [Cu(OH)2(H2O)4](s) + 2H2O(l)
blue, octahedral pale blue ppt.
insoluble in XS NaOH

NH3 [Cu(H2O)6]2+(aq) + 2NH3(aq) ——> [Cu(OH)2(H2O)4](s) + 2NH4+(aq)
blue ppt. soluble in excess NH3

then [Cu(OH)2(H2O)4](s) + 4NH3(aq) ——> [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 2OH¯(aq) royal blue NOTE THE FORMULA

CO32- [Cu(H2O)6]2+(aq) + CO32-(aq) ——> CuCO3(s) + 6H2O(l)
blue ppt.

Edexcel A2 Clinical psychology treatments - Notes

Compare and contrast the cognitive and behavioural approaches to treatment. (12M).
The cognitive approach uses a treatment called rational emotive therapy whilst the behavioural approach uses Systematic desensitisation. The aim of the RET is to change patterns of irrational thinking & replace them with more rational thinking patterns. Systematic desensitisation focuses on unlearning the behaviour and replacing it with a new response. Systematic desensitisation is useful for treating Phobias, whilst RET can treat Anorexia. Both treatments rely on Nurture, in helping with the treatment. Both believe that abnormality is linked with an early or even any experience. The cognitive approach believes it stems from early experiences causing a faulty schema, whilst the behavioural approach links it to the environment and classical/operant conditioning. Both treatments acknowledge the important role of the therapist. In RET, the therapist acts as a teacher and tries to challenge the patient. In Systematic desensitisation, the therapist guides the client through the steps which eventually lead to being desensitised to the fearful situation. The behavioural treatment is scientific, whilst the cognitive therapy is Non-scientific. Furthermore the behavioural approach is Idiographic, therefore the treatment applies to only the individual, and is therefore different to every patient. Rational emotive therapy is Nomothetic so it is more of a general treatment which can be applied universally. Systematic desensitisation focuses on changing behaviour, whilst RET focuses on changing thoughts. The behavioural treatment emphasises the importance of relaxing whilst RET is a challenging treatment so is more intense. Both treatments look at the present.

c'mon since am planning to apply to cambridge for medicine and since I have very low O level results I should aim for very high marks here!!

And M1 is very easy!!!

And what have you got for your units all 100s!!!

I'd disagree. I'm not finding it that easy at all yet. :sadnod:

Don't get too obsessed with Cambridge! You can do it but if things don't work out, then don't take it as a major blow. :hugs:

And also, you're doing A levels in 1 year! I can barely cope with AS in 1 year so you're achievements outweigh mines by a massive amount. :smile:

yeah I know its like I said I'm aiming for cambridge but if I don't get in I don't care I just want an offer for medicine thats all!!
I know how competitive its for medicine and especially for International applicants!!

I just wanna get high marks high since A2 is much more difficult!!
And whatever you say M1 is easy!!
