The Cambridge International AS and A Level Chemistry (9701) syllabus provides learners with chemical principles, theoretical concepts, and experimental techniques. Students begin by studying the key building blocks of chemistry such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, the periodic table, and stoichiometry. The syllabus also includes the study of energetic changes, rates of reaction, equilibria, and an introduction to redox reactions and acid-base behavior.
In Chemistry, Paper 1 typically focuses on multiple-choice questions, while Paper 2 focuses on short and extended response questions, including problem-solving tasks.
A marking scheme outlines how marks are distributed for different aspects of a question, providing a guide for examiners to ensure consistent and fair evaluation of student answers.
Chemistry Past Paper 3 focuses on practical lab questions, where section A consist of short answer questions on experiments and data, whearas, section B focuses on questions on the option topic selected by the candidate.
No, Paper 3 and Paper 5 are not the same in physics because Paper 3 consists of data analysis and practical-based questions, while Paper 5 consists of theoretical concepts and its ability to solve problems.
