We don't use plutonium, neptunium or curium in medicine or industry. Technetium 99 and Cobalt 60 aren't transuranic. That's the main difference. When an alpha particle strikes a larger nucleus, it bounces off. (So do neutrons, unless they're going really slow).

*physics* Cyclotrons use magnetic fields to accelerate particles... neutrons don't really care much for magnetic fields. As far as I know, nuclear reactors can only bombard the parent with neutrons, because you've only got free neutrons going in a nuclear reactor, basically they are a...

"• describe the formation of a coordinate covalent bond • demonstrate the formation of coordinate covalent bonds using Lewis electron dot structures" I'd say that question hasn't been in the syllabus since "alchemy" was a topic. • describe how transuranic elements are produced •...

I noticed that in the 01 questions today; there seems to have been one on the steps of uranium --> lead decay that's no longer there. Yep, we now only need to know nuclear reactions for "production of transuranic elements" and "production of commercially used isotopes'. They took out...

Is it just me or is there only one question in that document? The syllabus doesn't say 'coordinate covalent bonds' anywhere other than for ozone. We still have to know how to write nuclear equations like in that question... although I might be confusing it with physics.

It was Q17 in 2004, Success One uses the rather obvious name of "styrene" for the monomer. Although I've heard their answers aren't the best.

After reading all this, I've decided to refer to it as cinnamol.

Phenyl appears to be another word for benzene. Ah, here: Some other names for styrene are: vinylbenzene cinnamene phenylethene vinylbenzol cinnamol phenylethylene styrol...

Don't you make the longest chain the main one? And if so wouldn't that make it ethyl benzene? Edit: To answer the original quesiton, reading/summarising the textbook will cause you to miss a lot of the 'right hand column' dotpoints, namely the "secondary source" and "first hand...

just 4 u cherryblossom... Note: Because the Chemistry syllabus is a little more, err... 'robust' than the physics syllabus, and the fact that the questions tend to blur between 1, 2 or 3 dotpoints, this isn't dotpoint-by-dotpoint, but rather by groups of dotpoints. This is for Questions 16...

I would argue that 11 would be more accurate, on account of the fact that the 12th has only 30 minutes left.

Nope, only in Shipwrecks.

Tomorrow I shall conduct a thorough checking of the past papers versus the syllabus and post a list-of-stuff-there-hasn't-been-long-answer-questions-on like I did for physics. Then all you psychics can get to work on it.

The question will probably specify how many.

*sits down at the marking centre* *picks up his first section II paper for the day, squints to read the barely legible handwriting... damn pot smoking kids* Woe is me... *stops reading* *gives a 4, passes to 2nd marker* *picks up his second section II paper for the day* Woe is...

I do Coleridge, and find I can only ever do 1 of his poems, because there's just so much to talk about in all of them. Better to know 2 or 3 (or maybe even all 4) of them well though, since sometimes one might suit the question better than another. Likewise for my related material, I'll use...

...and the product should be removed and used to further the country's war effort.

The saddest thing is that I'd probably still get decent marks too.

Yay, a pat! What do I get if they're word for word exactly the same as the published Standards Package Response?
