IGCSE Chemistry

A blog covering and explaining the Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry specification for the 2016 summer exams. If you are doing just double science, you do not need to learn the stuff for paper two, if you are doing triple you will need to learn all (GOOD LUCK!) I have separated the papers to make files easier to find. Hope it helps :)

1.46 understand that a metal can be described as a giant structuree of positive ions surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons

›
In a metal, the atoms are ionically bonded in a giant 3-D structure. The outer shell electrons become detached (making positive ions, cation...

1.31 deduce the charge of an ion from the electronic configuration of the atom from which the ion is formed
