Oxford chem interview - inorganic
I’ve got two interviews for chemistry, but i’m worried about the inorganic one because I’ve only done AS inorganic like we haven’t started A2. Obviously i’ll tell them I haven’t done anything really yet butt won’t they be expecting me to have already learnt it and ask me questions anyway but more easing me into it,built up? And in that case should I look over A2 inorganic? Or is it a waste of time
I wouldn't expect them to ask a lot of A level inorganic stuff. The inorganic chemistry done in the first year of university mostly just builds on what you did in your physical chemistry classes at A level and so you are more likely to benefit from recapping the physical chemistry content than inorganic. As such, I wouldn't bother with A2 inorganic.

I’d say anything where redox, structure and bonding, acids and bases and thermodynamics are involved should be quite likely to come up.
