Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

AQA Chemistry Unit 2 (resit) CHEM2 10th June

Could't find an existing thread for this exam so thought I'd make one.
Could be useful to share resources and perhaps form discuss ideas about the exam on the 10th of June.

I hope that this forum takes off! Just preparing a lot, feel like they'll throw us curveballs?

Oh definitely! I've been making sure to look into all the how science works stuff and all the rarely asked questions in depth to ensure as few surprises as possible :smile:

Expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised 👊🏻

Just revise everything so nothing can catch you out... The knowledge for U2 is rather basic so there's only a few things you need to memorise such as some of the equations and reaction conditions

What's the mark scheme answer? I'm definitely not sure but since the C=C is planar and can't rotate, I'd circle all of thr carbons but the one on the far right... or maybe just the C=C? IDK

I reckon theyll ask more mechanisms than they did last year. I think they only asked about 1 maybe two. maybe some stuff on the boltzmanns curves too

It's basically all of the carbons which are directly attached to the C=C double bond that lie in the same plane. This picture should help :smile:

(It's the trigonal planar one in the middle which links to the question).
