1. Reading the Periodic Table – Atomic Number and Mass | 阅读周期表——原子序数与质量数
Many students confuse the two numbers given for an element. The smaller number is the atomic number, equal to the number of protons and, in a neutral atom, electrons. The larger number is the mass number, the sum of protons and neutrons.
很多学生会把元素周期表上给出的两个数字弄混。较小的那个是原子序数，等于质子数（中性原子中也等于电子数）。较大的那个是质量数，即质子数加中子数。
For example, sodium is shown as 11 at the bottom and 23 at the top. That means 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons (23 – 11). You may be asked to calculate the number of neutrons from these values – always subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
以钠为例，下方数字为 11，上方为 23。这表示它有 11 个质子和 11 个电子，中子数则是 23 – 11 = 12。题目常常要求你从这两个数算出中子数，记得用质量数减去原子序数。
If the question shows a diagram of an atom with electron shells, check that the inner shell holds 2 electrons, the next 8, and the outer shell up to 8 for the first 20 elements. The group number tells you the number of outer‑shell electrons.
如果题目给出原子的电子层示意图，要记住前 20 号元素中，第一层最多填 2 个电子，第二层 8 个，最外层最多 8 个。族号等于最外层电子数。
2. Ionic vs. Covalent Bonding – Structure and Properties | 离子键与共价键——结构与性质
A classic exam question asks you to explain why sodium chloride conducts electricity when molten but not when solid. The answer must include the idea that ions are free to move in the liquid state but locked in place in the solid lattice.
经典考题通常会问：氯化钠为何在熔融状态下能导电，而固体时不能？答案必须提到离子在液态时可以自由移动，而在固态晶格中则被固定在原位。
In contrast, substances like diamond (giant covalent) have very high melting points and do not conduct electricity because there are no delocalised electrons or free ions. Graphite is the exception – each carbon atom uses three of its four outer electrons to form covalent bonds, leaving one delocalised electron per atom that can carry charge.
相反，像金刚石（巨型共价结构）这类物质的熔点极高，且不能导电，因为它们既没有离域电子，也没有可以自由移动的离子。石墨是个例外——每个碳原子只用三个外层电子形成共价键，剩下一个离域电子可以自由移动，从而导电。
Make sure you can sketch a simple dot‑and‑cross diagram for ionic compounds like magnesium oxide, clearly showing the transfer of electrons and the resulting charges: Mg²⁺ and O²⁻.
务必能够画出离子化合物（如氧化镁）的简单点叉图，清晰展示电子的转移以及生成的离子符号：Mg²⁺ 和 O²⁻。
3. Moles and Mass Calculations – Quantitative Chemistry | 摩尔与质量计算——定量化学
The relationship between mass, molar mass, and number of moles is at the heart of quantitative chemistry. The formula n = m ÷ M is used repeatedly, where n is the amount of substance in mol, m is the mass in g, and M is the molar mass in g·mol⁻¹.
质量、摩尔质量和物质的量之间的关系是定量化学的核心。反复用到的公式是：n = m ÷ M，其中 n 为物质的量（mol），m 为质量（g），M 为摩尔质量（g·mol⁻¹）。
When tackling a titration calculation, first find the moles of the known solution using concentration and volume, then use the balanced equation’s mole ratio to find the moles of the unknown, and finally convert back to mass or concentration.
做滴定计算时，先用已知溶液的浓度和体积求出其物质的量，再根据配平方程式的化学计量数之比求算未知物的物质的量，最后换算出质量或浓度。
Example: n(NaOH) = 0.100 mol·dm⁻³ × 0.0250 dm³ = 0.00250 mol
Watch out for unit conversions. The volume must be in dm³: divide cm³ by 1000. Many marks are lost by forgetting this step.
注意单位换算。体积必须使用 dm³，要把 cm³ 除以 1000。这是很多学生丢分的地方。
4. Acids, Bases and Salts – Neutralisation and pH Scale | 酸、碱与盐——中和反应及pH标度
A common structured question will show the reaction between an acid and an alkali, such as hydrochloric acid reacting with sodium hydroxide. You must write a balanced equation and identify the salt produced – here, sodium chloride.
常见的结构化题会给出酸和碱的反应，例如盐酸与氢氧化钠的反应。你必须写出配平方程式，并指出生成的盐——此处是氯化钠。
To explain why a particular pH value is obtained for a given acid, link the ionisation of the acid to the concentration of hydrogen ions, H⁺. Strong acids fully ionise in water, giving a higher concentration of H⁺ and therefore a lower pH than weak acids of the same concentration.
要解释某一给定酸为何呈现特定的 pH 值，需将酸的电离与氢离子 H⁺ 的浓度联系起来。强酸在水中完全电离，产生的 H⁺ 浓度更高，因此同浓度下 pH 比弱酸更低。
When describing how to make a soluble salt from an insoluble base, don’t just say 'add acid to the base'. Include warming the acid, adding excess base until no more reacts, filtering off the excess, and then crystallising the salt from the filtrate.
在描述如何从不溶性碱制备可溶性盐时，不要只说“把酸加到碱里”。要细化：先微热酸，加入过量的碱直至不再反应，过滤除去多余碱，然后从滤液中蒸发结晶得到盐。
5. Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions – Predicting Products | 水溶液电解——产物预测
Electrolysis questions often trip up students who forget to consider the water present. In an aqueous solution, both the ions from the solute and the H⁺ and OH⁻ ions from water compete at the electrodes.
电解题目容易出错，因为很多学生忘记考虑水的存在。在水溶液中，溶质产生的离子与来自水的 H⁺ 和 OH⁻ 会在电极上竞争放电。
At the cathode, if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen (e.g. sodium, potassium), hydrogen gas is produced. If the metal is less reactive (e.g. copper, silver), the metal itself is deposited. At the anode, halide ions are discharged in preference to hydroxide, unless the solution is very dilute – then oxygen may form.
在阴极，如果金属比氢活泼（如钠、钾），则析出氢气；如果金属不如氢活泼（如铜、银），则金属本身沉积。在阳极，卤素离子优先于氢氧根离子放电，除非溶液很稀，此时可能生成氧气。
Practice writing half‑ ons, e.g. 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂ or 2Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻. Always check that charges and atoms balance.
多加练习电极反应的半方程式书写，例如 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂ 或 2Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻。务必确认电荷与原子都已配平。
6. Energy Changes – Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions | 能量变化——放热与吸热反应
You are often asked to interpret a reaction profile diagram. The key points: the difference in energy between reactants and products tells you whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic; the peak shows the activation energy.
考题常要求你解读反应历程图。关键在于：反应物与生成物之间的能量差值反映的是放热还是吸热反应；峰顶代表活化能。
For a required practical on temperature change, e.g. investigating neutralisation, you need to know how to measure the temperature change, plot a graph, and use it to find the maximum temperature rise, even if the reaction mixture loses heat over time.
关于温度变化的必做实验，例如探究中和反应，需要懂得如何测量温度变化、绘制图表，并从中确定最大温升，即使反应混合物会随时间散热。
m is the mass of the solution (approximated as the volume in cm³ for dilute aqueous solutions), c is 4.2 J·g⁻¹·°C⁻¹, and ΔT is the temperature change.
计算热量变化的关键公式是 Q = m × c × ΔT。记住 m 是溶液的质量（稀薄水溶液可用体积 cm³ 近似代替），c 是 4.2 J·g⁻¹·°C⁻¹，ΔT 是温度变化。
7. Rates of Reaction – Collision Theory and Factors | 反应速率——碰撞理论与影响因素
Any answer about rate must link back to collision theory: reactions occur only when particles collide with sufficient energy (greater than or equal to the activation energy) and with the correct orientation.
任何关于反应速率的回答都必须回归碰撞理论：反应只有通过粒子之间发生足够能量（不低于活化能）且取向正确的碰撞才会发生。
To explain how increasing temperature increases the rate, state that particles have more kinetic energy, so they move faster, leading to more frequent collisions and, crucially, a greater proportion of particles now have energy equal to or greater than the activation energy.
在解释升高温度为何能加快反应速率时，应指出：粒子获得了更多动能，运动更快，碰撞更频繁；更关键的是，现在有更大比例的粒子能量达到了活化能。
When the question provides a rate graph showing volume of gas produced versus time, use the steepness of the line to compare rates. The steeper the line, the faster the reaction. The final flat region shows the reaction has finished.
题目若提供气体体积随时间变化的速率图，要利用曲线的斜率来比较速率。斜率越大，反应越快；最终平台部分表明反应已经结束。
8. Organic Chemistry – Alkanes, Alkenes and Cracking | 有机化学——烷烃、烯烃与裂解
Be ready to name and draw the first four alkanes (methane, ethane, propane, butane) and alkenes (ethene, propene, butene). Eduqas often asks you to write a general formula: CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ for alkanes, CₙH₂ₙ for alkenes.
准备好命名并画出前四种烷烃（甲烷、乙烷、丙烷、丁烷）和烯烃（乙烯、丙烯、丁烯）。Eduqas 常要求你写出通式：烷烃为 CₙH₂ₙ₊₂，烯烃为 CₙH₂ₙ。
A cracking question typically shows a long‑chain alkane being broken into a shorter alkane and an alkene. You must balance the equation and identify the alkene, then suggest a test: add bromine water, which turns from orange to colourless.
裂解的典型题目是：一个长链烷烃裂解成一个较短烷烃和一个烯烃。你要配平方程式、识别出烯烃，然后给出检验方法——加入溴水，由橙色变为无色。
double bond and are unsaturated, which makes them more reactive and able to undergo addition reactions, while alkanes are saturated and mainly undergo substitution.
对比烷烃与烯烃时，要突出烯烃含有 C=C 双键，属于不饱和烃，因此更活泼且能发生加成反应；而烷烃是饱和烃，主要发生取代反应。
9. Chemical Tests – Gases and Anions | 化学检验——气体与阴离子
Identifying common gases is a regular feature. The four standard tests are: hydrogen gives a squeaky pop with a lit splint; oxygen relights a glowing splint; carbon dioxide turns limewater milky; chlorine bleaches damp litmus paper.
常见气体的鉴别是常考内容。四种标准检验为：氢气用燃着的木条会发出爆鸣声；氧气使带火星的木条复燃；二氧化碳使石灰水变浑浊；氯气使湿润的石蕊试纸褪色。
For anion tests, learn the results: carbonate – add dilute acid and look for fizzing, then test the gas with limewater; sulfate – add barium chloride solution and dilute hydrochloric acid, a white precipitate forms; halide – add silver nitrate solution and nitric acid, then observe the coloured precipitate (white for chloride, cream for bromide, yellow for iodide).
对于阴离子检验，要牢记步骤和现象：碳酸根——滴加稀酸，有气泡，将气体通入石灰水变浑浊；硫酸根——加入氯化钡溶液和稀盐酸，产生白色沉淀；卤离子——加入硝酸银溶液和稀硝酸，观察沉淀颜色（氯离子白色，溴离子奶油色，碘离子黄色）。
Always include the acid step where required – for sulfate and halide tests, the acid removes interfering carbonate or sulfite ions, so the white precipitate confirms sulfate or halide, not carbonate.
别忘了必要的加酸步骤：在硫酸根和卤离子检验中，加酸可排除碳酸根或亚硫酸根离子的干扰，确保产生的白色沉淀是硫酸钡或卤化银而不是碳酸盐。
10. Common Pitfalls and Exam Tips | 常见失分点与应试技巧
One of the biggest pitfalls is giving vague answers instead of precise scientific explanations. For instance, instead of 'the particles move more', say 'the particles gain kinetic energy, leading to more frequent successful collisions with energy greater than or equal to the activation energy'.
一个最大的失分陷阱是回答过于模糊，而不是给出精准的科学解释。例如，不要说“粒子运动更快了”，而应表述为“粒子获得了动能，导致更频繁的有效碰撞，这些碰撞的能量大于或等于活化能”。
In extended writing questions, such as evaluating a method for making a salt, always structure your answer using bullet points or clear paragraphs. Address accuracy, safety, and yield, comparing the given method with a more suitable alternative.
在论述题中，比如评价一个制盐方法，务必使用分点或清晰段落来组织答案。围绕精确度、安全性和产率展开，将给定方法与更合适的替代方案进行比较。
When a calculation is required, show your working step by step, even if the answer is a simple number. Marks are often given for intermediate steps, even if the final answer is wrong. Always include units and check significant figures.
需要计算时，即使最后答案很简单，也要逐步写出过程。考试局通常会给中间步骤赋分，即便最终答案出错。务必带上单位，并检查有效数字。
Finally, manage your time. If a 1‑mark question seems too complicated, move on and return later. Use the marks per question as a guide to how much detail and time to spend.
最后，合理安排时间。如果一道 1 分题目看起来过于复杂，先跳过，回头再补做。每题的分值可以告诉你该花多少时间和细致度。
