What's in the AQA A Level Chemistry data booklet?

  • Page 2: Periodic table – need atomic masses or a quick refresher on elements? Page 2 has got you covered πŸ“Š

  • Page 3: Infrared absorption and chemical shift data – offers ranges of IR absorptions for different bonds. The 13C and 1H NMR chemical shift data helps identify carbon atoms in a molecule and the number of protons in a molecule πŸ€“

  • Page 4: Selected organic molecules – includes structures of important organic molecules. No need to memorise these structures; they’re right there for you!

How to use the data booklets like a pro

  • Get familiar early – don’t wait for exam season. Start using it as part of your regular study routine and include them in your mock exams to understand their application in real exam scenarios πŸ’‘

  • Bookmark key sections – if certain areas are more relevant to your study topics, keep them marked for quick accessπŸ“Œ

  • For Infrared absorption questions, remember to quote the specific range in the booklet for each bond type to back up your answers πŸ€”

  • Combine with knowledge – these booklets are most effective when used alongside your comprehensive understanding of chemistry.πŸ’ͺ
