    About the Multiple choice questions, Im sure Amides are neutral, if not basic at all, phenylamine is a weak base and amine is highly basic so it should have been for increasing basic strength:

    Amide - Phenyamine - Amine

    Am I right?
    yeah I think you're right, I'd looked up pKb values that seemed to agree with it

    Also for the last question I got the original monomer used was 1,2- dimethlybutene.

    Goodluck you guys.
    If you have a methyl on carbon number 1 it makes it a pentene chain lol

    hmm... maybe not since 'pentan-2-ene' sounds like you're saying pentane then pentene

    it's only one mark though so not a big worry

    Good stuff

    I know this is gonna sound stupid but I still have the link from our results day last year and I just clicked on it and it took me directly to the place where we enter our details, like our candidate and centre number and pin

    I thought that page was supposed to be secured so no one could log on till the 16th?? I haven't actually tried to log in for this year cause I'm too chicken to do it

    The link I have may just take us to last years results but im really not sure :confused:

    Any thoughts or ideas??

    No point in having it because although the link works, the log-in doesn't
