Chemistry Paper 4-theory- doubts =D

[knowitall10]

Assalamu Alykum wa Ra7matullahi wa Barakatuhu!!!
Al7amdulillah, we're done with the pathetic Paper 5 finally
So now we can start our Paper 4 practice... and we need to work extremely hard if we're really hoping for an A* inshAllah..
and the rest of it will be left to Allah (SWT), the One Who's Worthy of all Praise and Worship. If He Wills, nothing can ever stop us from succeeding!


Alright.. i don't know all the A-level Candidates on this forum, so i'm only tagging a few, but please brothers and sisters, tag fellow brothers and sisters if they do not know about this thread. Thank you, Jazakum Allahu Khair

Yup!!! We're cool like that

 

[knowitall10]

Alright first things first... Who knows why CCl4 cannot be hydrolysed?
(I know the answer, btw, i'm just testing us)

 

[iKhaled]

because carbon hasn't got a free d-orbital subshell where it can accept a water ligand right?

Yup!!! That's right!
(that was a warm up question btw, u post urs tooXD-if u want that is)

nothin on my mind now :$

 

[knowitall10]

Btw, i was suggesting that we follow a plan for chem....please tell me an alternative if this isnt a very sensible one
We'll first start thoroughly revising the course in a matter of _______ days (fill in the blanks plz). then we start discussion. what do u say?

 

[knowitall10]

oh, another one applepie1996

 

[MaxStudentALevel]

i think we should revise difficult topics in the course! like main points!
BUT organic should be mastered as its a good like 20-30 marks in papers!!
so lets start with revising all organic!!
topics i find confusing are
-Group Trends
-Some calculations
-NMR

Any other feedback?

umhmm...

perfect.. and the applications can also be somewhat confusing...so how many days shall this take? cz once we're done with the course, theere must b no looking back at the txtbk...we just start kicking p4's butt but how many days?

 

[MaxStudentALevel]

exactly!!
-problem is ive got a bio paper on monday so im revising that till then
-after which im doing phy review for 3 days
-Then i shall reveiw chem so ill be unavailable till then!
-I think you guys should do quick summaries of all organic and then allchapters!

Waalikum Assalamu Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatoho.

Well, I think 1 or 2 days for a very speedy revision, then start papers starting from latest years, then whenever a difficult topic appear in paper, we revise the book and retry solving that question, by this way the revision will be thorough!

Then before exam 2 days, stick to byhearting organic routes with reagents and conditions and revise book!

Ur doing AS and A2 together?

What is the formula of DNPH (Di-nitrophenyl Hydrazine)

 

[PhyZac]

And those solving papers, it will so nice of you to share the hard question you find, in this thread, so we can try them. (and explain them if someone need).

 

[knowitall10]

But wah

But what i was suggesting is that we don't find a difficult chapter in the past papers... i mean. i did that last year for AS, the closing and opening of my txtbk, i flunked and had to repeat... i dunno... or to be fair with everyone.. whoever's done revising first can post it and start with his/her doubts if any and we can all reply as we revise.. what do u guys say?
