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

What's the hardest topic in a-level chemistry (preferably OCR)?

Q above

I find Redox the hardest to be honest, still haven’t gotten my head around it 😅 the easiest is probably groups 2 + 7 since it’s basically just memorising and explaining the how and why.

What's in the redox topic that's so hard?

for me acids & bases (mainly the calculations) and transition metals - well from what i can remember lol

EDIT: i did AQA

I mainly struggle in trying to figure out what’s getting oxidised, reduced, what is the reducing/oxidising agent, balance redox equations using oxidation numbers. Just everything about it!

I don’t know, I feel like I’m the only person who finds redox so confusing 😅

I do Edexcel btw.
