AQA GCSE Chemistry Exam Unit 1 (C1) 15th June 2012 (New Spec.)

Well, a monomer is smaller and make a polymer through polymerisation
sounds complicated but basically loads of the small molecules, monomers, join togther to form longer chains called polymers. The double bond 'opens up' or breaks to form the polymer
Hope it helps, and have you got any tips for remebering everything because i am so nervous i will forget everything! Also, what do you think the 6 mark question will be on?? Thanks

Thank you, and what other main topics should i focus more on/less on
like, should i not revise the atoms and stuff as much? :s really nervous

The questions these days are not based on the syllabus a lot but mostly on common sense and whether you can figure out new data based on the knowledge you already know. In my opinion I think you shouldn't waste time on revising what electrons are and what protons are etc. these things are KS3 and of course you should have known this all the time you have been sitting there in class. Other than that it would be great if you had a very good ready through vegetable oils, earthquakes, biodiesel, ethanol, cracking crude oil, phytomining and the environment issues because these are mostly the ones you get the most marks from. There might be at the start of the exam some easy 1 mark 2 mark questions about atoms but seriously... Anyway, if you have the new specification book you should have a look at the second section (around pg 55 up to 80). I hope you great success in the exam tomorrow since I am also sitting it

Can someone please explain the miller-Urey experiment to me and primordial soup?also what is smelting? and what sort of questions would they ask about it? Thank you so much! Good luck tomorrow everyone!

Heyy Thankyou, for remembering things this may sound really stupid but i sometimes make songs to the tunes of my favourite songs , and also the night before the exam i like to write out all the definitions and processes that have revised to spot anyones i'm not so sure about using this revision check list: http://http://my-gcsescience.com/uploads/AQA_GCSE_Core_Science_and_Chemistry_1.pdf as when find i'm unsure of something there's a really clear video link next to it If i knew what the 6 marker was i'm pretty sure i'd be rich but i'm thinking maybe something to do with global warming, recycling etc but i'm not really sure I'm sure you'll be fine! Good Luck

Thank you, you too-good luck!!
Awwww its a bad thing i aint got no common sense then isnt it

Can someone please explain the miller-Urey experiment to me and primordial soup?also what is smelting? and what sort of questions would they ask about it? Thank you so much! Good luck tomorrow everyone!

Think about as if you do know it :P And think about it as if you are the expert and you will be a lot more confident It is in the afternoon btw. the best thing to do is do nothing before the exam Relax and chat to your friends and do some quizzes but don't do stress revision etc. those don't help. Have a read through the spec it takes about 20 mins

LOL what I do? Well... have a cup of coffee? And how about playing football But 30mins before I will do some quizzes about the topics with others

lol i h8 coffee and football

can anyone help me with this question:

I'm gonna start revising chemistry tomorrow, because at the moment I am revising for school exams: geography on thursday and english lit 2hours on wednesday. So much to do including chemistry revision.

I know about crude oil, fractional distillation, hydrocarbons and simple stuff life that but I really need to revise emulsifiers, the earth and atmosphere. Theories of how life formed etc.
Basically I have soooo much to revise.

So how is your revision going ? How much have you revised so far ?
