Yes.

Potassium
Sodium
Calcium
Magnesium
Aluminium
Zinc
Iron

Something like that, try and remember the pneumonic;

Please Send Cats monkeys and zerbres in lead cages securely guarded.

Ionic equations are fine, provided that you balance them.

The hardest topics in chem are;

dot and cross
electrodes
memorising ethanol production fermentation etc.

I think I have got organic chem locked down x

Actaully I found this check this out;

Which is the hardest paper do you think.

I have only really been focusing on paper 1 tbh since it is longer.

Better tbh quieter exam halls, less retards making noise.

Does anyone know the colour of the ions we need to know.

I know that:

Chlrodie ions = White precipitate

Bromine ions = Cream Precipitibate

Iodide ions = Yellow precipitate

Copper hydroxide forms a blue precipitate

Iron(II) hydroxide forms green precipitate

Iron(III) hydroxide forms a brown precipitate.

Can someone confirm :biggrin:

What to revise now?!
