 used to identify acidic, neutral or alkaline solutions
Describe the use of universal indicator to measure the
approximate pH of a solution and use the pH scale to
identify acidic or alkaline solutions

and strong (in terms of the degree of ionisation) in
relation to acids
 HT ONLY: Explain how the concentration of an aqueous
solution and the strength of an acid affects the pH of the

 Describe the basic structure of an atom and how the distance of
the charged particles vary with the absorption or emission of
electromagnetic radiation

conventional representations of their identities, charges and
masses
 Describe how the atomic model has changed over time due to
new experimental evidence, inc discovery of the atom and
scattering experiments (inc the work of James Chadwick)

source is the rate at which its unstable nuclei decay, measured in
Becquerel (Bq) by a Geiger-Muller tube
 Describe the penetration through materials, the range in air and
the ionising power for alpha particles, beta particles and gamma
rays
 Apply knowledge of the uses of radiation to evaluate the best
sources of radiation to use in a given situation
 Use the names and symbols of common nuclei and particles to
complete balanced nuclear equations, by balancing the atomic
numbers and mass numbers
 Define half-life of a radioactive isotope

 HT ONLY: Determine the half-life of a radioactive isotope from
given information and calculate the net decline, expressed as a
ratio, in a radioactive emission after a given number of half-
lives
 Compare the hazards associated with contamination and
irradiation and outline suitable precautions taken to protect
against any hazard the radioactive sources may present
 Discuss the importance of publishing the findings of studies into
the effects of radiation on humans and sharing findings with
other scientists so that they can be checked by peer review
Physics – Particle model of matter
 Calculate the density of a material by recalling and applying the
equation: [ ρ = m/V ]
 Recognise/draw simple diagrams to model the difference
between solids, liquids and gases
 Use the particle model to explain the properties of different
states of matter and differences in the density of materials
 Recall and describe the names of the processes by which
substances change state
 Use the particle model to explain why a change of state is
reversible and affects the properties of a substance, but not its
mass
                                                                     2
