3 well structured chemistry lessons covering topics on Modern Analytical Techniques I (Year 12) suitable for the Edexcel specification.

Lesson 1: Mass Spectrometry in Organic Chemistry

1. Use a mass spectrum of an organic compound to identify the molecular ion peak and hence to determine molecular mass
2. Perform analysis of fragmentation peaks in a mass spectrum to identify parts of structures

Lesson 2: IR Spectroscopy

1. To know that bonds in molecule absorb infrared radiation at characteristic wave numbers
2. To interpret IR Spectra to identify particular bonds therefore functional groups
3. To interpret IR Spectra to identify impurities in molecules

Lesson 3: ÌÇÐÄVlogting for Organic Functional Groups

1. To describe how to test for the following functional groups: alcohols, aldehydes, alkenes, halogenoalkanes and carboxylic acids
2. To recall the observations linked to a positive test of these functional groups
3. To distinguish between organic unknowns using test tube reactions

Declaimer: Please refrain from purchasing this popular resource for an interview lesson or a formal observation. This is because planning your own lessons including using your own lesson PowerPoints is a fundamental skill of a qualified/unqualified teacher that will be reviewed during these scenarios outlined above
