I was revising and found these chemistry knowledge organisers that were really good for consolidating!

6 markers: electrolysis, and maybe chromatography (it hasn't come up in a while), also maybe titrations

also my teacher thinks theres gonna be a lot of topic 4-extracting metals (reduction with carbon, electrolysis, phytomining, bioleaching), and topic 3

i feel like there would be a electrolysis 6 marker on the practical for copper sulfate solution

BENDOMEX- Breaking bonds = endothermic, Making bonds = exothermic

OILRIG - oxidation is loss of electrons, reduction is gain of electrons

REDCAT - cathode is reduction

ANOX - anode is oxidation

PLANS - solubility rules. But I can’t remember what it stands for 🙈

PANIC - positive anode ,negative is cathode.

If I think of more I’ll come back.

Please Stop Calling Me A Cute Zebra Instead Try Learning How Copper Saves Gold - reactivity series
(Potassium Sodium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium Carbon Zinc Iron Tin Lead Hydrogen Copper Silver Gold)
I js learnt this yesterday and it's sticking to my brain... hope this works for you :smile:

PANS - solubility rules
Potassium, Ammonium, Nitrates and Sodium are always soluble
