PLEASE REMEMBER, THESE ARE NOT 'STAND ALONE' NOTES, and were designed for my classes for use alongside the Salters resources - Chemical Ideas, Chemical Storylines, Practical Activities-Investigations and the AS-A2 Revision guides to reduce the reading workload and offer a study strategy. From your teacher (not me!), its handy to have the answers to the Chemical Ideas, Storylines Assignments and Activities Questions side by side with the texts and these strategy pages. You haven't time to redo the Q's but a quick read of the Q's and connecting with the official answers is valuable revision.

2. Useful GCSE multiple choice tests and notes on this site to help the 'transition' from GCSE to AS chemistry, which is what Unit EL was partly designed to do ...

• Periodic Table m/c test and GCSE Periodic Table notes and overview

• pH, Acids, Bases and Salts m/c test and GCSE revision notes

• Metal Reactivity m/c test and GCSE notes on Metal reactions with oxygen, water and acids

• Alkali Metals m/c quiz and Revision Notes

• Radioactivity and nuclear processes m/c test (covers all the radioactivity in EL)

• GCSE notes on Atomic Structure and GCSE notes on Radioactivity (covers most in EL)

• Atomic structure and the Periodic Table m/c test and revision notes

• Basic Chemical Calculations [sections 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 15 (for DF) are particularly important and covers most calculations in EL, work your way down the page doing the 'snappy' 5 Q tests 'en route'.

• Equation balancing m/c test (got a few combustion equations to help DF)

3a. Detailed Revision Notes on s-block metals: Group 1 "Alkali Metals" and 2 "Alkaline Earth Metals" (BUT these notes are very detailed AND serve ALL UK syllabus's, so beware Salters students, you do not need to know the lot! - check the learning objectives for EL, a comment that applies to all my notes)

3c. Starter multiple choice test on the s-block metals: Group 1 "Alkali Metals" and 2 "Alkaline Earth Metals" (lots of easy Q's at GCSE level as well as AS)

3d. Multiple choice test on EL (covers many aspects eg Periodic Table ideas, Group 1 and 2 chemistry, some basic calculations,  but the tests listed in section 2. provide just as much useful EL revision material, particularly the radioactivity and calculations, and further Q's are being devised to cover other aspects of EL) 

4.  Short notes on "Shapes of Molecules" electron pair repulsion theory and bond angles combined with the covalent molecules on the GCSE bonding notes page.

5. Short answer test on EL (not developed, but has got a set of Q's on molecule shapes and bond angles)

6. scribble on error analysis in Activity EL 1.1 and EL 2.1

7. Periodicity : Data- Graphs for Periods 1-4 (and start of 5) for elements Z= 1-20, 1-38 or 1-88
