Energy, Quality control and Analysis

The first year is the best year to study a variety of subjects. As students must specialise in at least one science subject, they are advised to take courses which enable them to advance, and even major, in more than one subect area.

Syllabus Content
  • Core
    • State the distinguishing properties of solids, liquids and gases
    • Describe the structure of solids, liquids and gases in terms of particle separation, arrangement and types of motion
    • Describe changes of state in terms of melting, boiling, evaporation, freezing, condensation and sublimation

    • Show an understanding of the random motion of particles in a suspension (sometimes known as Brownian motion) as evidence for the kinetic particle (atoms, molecules or ions) model of matter
    • Describe and explain diffusion
  • Supplement
    • Explain changes of state in terms of the kinetic theory
