Watch Eliot rintoul or allergy chemistry then go to chemrevise and do exam qs, that should hopefully help!

Are we meant to know about sigma and pi bonds?

Does anyone know (or could someone find out) how many marks worth of Physical chemistry have come up in previous Paper 2's. So I know how much priority I should put on Physical as opposed to Organic

what can I do from now to make sure I get a strong B overall, so around 60-70 marks in paper 2 after a bad paper 1?

Keep doing ppq's but watch videos to see where you're going wrong

The only place where I have seen that specifically mentioned is in the benzene topic. The idea is that p-orbitals overlap in benzene creating a ring of delocalised electrons, but looking at mark schemes saying ring of delocalised electrons is enough. Also the idea of pi bonds (double bond) might come up when talking about the making of optical isomers because double bonds are rigid and non rotatable, making it planar, so nucleophile can attack molecule from either plain to form optical isomers.
