ananya.agrawal95 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hey, We've done chapters 1,2,3 and 4 (along with the AHL bits) from the syllabus.We did the equation E=hf during chapter 2, but I can't find it anywhere in the syllabus, even for the AHL part. However, it is there in the textbook, though there aren't any calculations. I was just wondering if this is there in the sullabus and if i've managed to miss on it somehow Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmi Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Even if the textbook included a discussion on wavelength/energy calculations, these topics are not on the syllabus for HL chemistry. It's good to know, but you will not be tested on it during the exam since it is not in the syllabus. I think the most that you have to know related to that is about electron transitions and the types of series, as well as being able to draw one for hydrogen (and include the Lyman, Palmer, Baschen series), but not actually doing calculations with it. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ananya.agrawal95 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Just one question, why is it in the formula booklet if its not in the portion? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmi Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'm not exactly sure, to be perfectly honest. I always wondered about that myself to be honest. Perhaps your teacher would know? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ananya.agrawal95 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yeah, so I asked her and she said that while its not there in the portion anymore (it was there earlier apparently), there's a chance they may ask it, so might as well learn it. However, last year in physics when the teacher put a concept from the old syllabus in the IGCSE mocks, we got free marks for that question. I just hope we can do the same here by telling her the syllabus strictly says no calculations needed Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest B.E.P. Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 It is on the syllabus! That equation (and the first equation on that page as well, the one that goes log I/I=elc) are both part of Option A - Modern Analytical Chemistry. I think they introduce it in Chapter 2 just in case you take the option. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
