Structure 1. Models of the particulate
nature of matter
Sub-topic 1.1 Introduction to the
particulate nature of matter
Distinguish between the properties of 1.1 3-19
elements, compounds and mixtures.
Solvation, filtration, recrystallization,
evaporation, distillation and chromatography
should be covered..
The differences between homogeneous and
heterogeneous mixtures.
Distinguish the different states of matter.
Use state symbols (s, , g and aq) in chemical
equations.
Names of the changes of state should be
covered: melting, freezing, vaporization
(evaporation and boiling), condensation,
sublimation and deposition.
Interpret observable changes in physical
properties and temperature during changes of
state.
Convert between values in the Celsius and
Kelvin scales.
The kelvin (K) is the SI unit of temperature
and has the same incremental value as the
Celsius degree (°C).
Sub-topic 1.2 The nuclear atom
Use the nuclear symbol AZX to deduce the 1.2 20-34
number of protons, neutrons and electrons in
atoms and ions.
Relative masses and charges of the
subatomic particles should be known; actual
values are given in the data booklet. The
mass of the electron can be considered
negligible.
Perform calculations involving non-integer
relative atomic masses and abundance of
isotopes from given data.
Differences in the physical properties of
isotopes
Interpret mass spectra in terms of identity and 29-32
relative abundance of isotopes.

Sub-topic 1.3: Electron configuration
Qualitatively describe the relationship 1.3 34-62
between colour, wavelength, frequency and
energy across the electromagnetic spectrum.
Distinguish between a continuous and a line
spectrum.
Evaluate the possible consequences of
tipping points.
Describe the emission spectrum of the
hydrogen atom, including the relationships
between the lines and energy transitions to
the first, second and third energy levels.
Deduce the maximum number of electrons
that can occupy each energy level.
Recognize the shape and orientation of an s
atomic orbital and the three p atomic orbitals.
Apply the Aufbau principle, Hund’s rule and
the Pauli exclusion principle to deduce
electron configurations for atoms and ions up
to Z = 36.
Full electron configurations and condensed
electron configurations using the noble gas.
Orbital diagrams, i.e. arrow-in-box diagrams,
should be used to represent the filling and
relative energy of orbitals.
The electron configurations of Cr and Cu as
exceptions should be covered.
Explain the trends and discontinuities in first 54-60
ionization energy (IE) across a period and
down a group.
Calculate the value of the first IE from
spectral data that gives the wavelength or
frequency of the convergence limit.
Deduce the group of an element from its
successive ionization data.
Databases are useful for compiling graphs of
trends in IEs.
