Leaving Certificate Chemistry Higher Level – Strand 1 Complete Unit Pack

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

This comprehensive 230-page resource provides full coverage of Strand 1 of the new Leaving Certificate Chemistry specification. It is designed to support both teaching and revision through structured, exam-style questions and detailed marking schemes.

Each learning outcome is developed through realistic contexts, scaffolded questions and repeated exposure to key concepts, helping students build confidence and mastery across the full strand.

What’s Included

  • 230 pages of exam-style questions and structured answers

  • Full marking schemes for all questions

  • Coverage of all Strand 1 learning outcomes

  • Real-world contexts and applied chemistry scenarios

  • A mix of short-answer, structured and extended-response questions

  • Suitable for class tests, homework, revision or mock exams

Learning Outcome Coverage

LO 1.1 – Matter and the Kinetic Theory

  • Particle theory of solids, liquids and gases

  • Diffusion and Brownian motion

  • Effects of temperature on particle movement

  • Gas pressure, volume and temperature relationships

  • Real-life applications including aerosols, tyres and gas systems

  • Experimental design and evaluation

LO 1.2 – Atomic Structure and Spectroscopy

  • Structure of the atom and subatomic particles

  • Isotopes and relative atomic mass

  • Emission spectra and electron transitions

  • Relationship between energy, frequency and wavelength

  • Mass spectrometry and data interpretation

  • Development and limitations of atomic models

Quantitative Chemistry – The Mole and Stoichiometry

  • Mole calculations and Avogadro’s number

  • Formula units, atoms and particles

  • Balanced equations and mole ratios

  • Gas volume calculations (including STP)

  • Conservation of mass and chemical laws

  • Real-world applications (medicine, industry, food science)

  • Multi-step problem solving and exam-style calculations

LO 1.3 – Periodic Trends and Chemical Behaviour

  • Structure of the periodic table (groups, periods, blocks)

  • Ionisation energy trends and explanations

  • Atomic radius and shielding effects

  • Electronegativity and bonding

  • Reactivity of Group 1, Group 2 and Group 17 elements

  • Transition metals and noble gases

  • Displacement reactions and real-world applications

Why This Resource Is Effective

  • Reinforces key concepts through repeated exposure in different contexts

  • Develops both conceptual understanding and exam technique

  • Builds confidence with structured, scaffolded questions

  • Aligns with the new specification approach and style

  • Allows teachers to assess learning across an entire strand

Ideal For

  • Leaving Certificate Higher Level Chemistry students

  • Teachers delivering Strand 1 of the new course

  • Revision classes and exam preparation

  • Continuous assessment and class testing

Format

  • PDF download

  • Print-ready

  • Can be used as a full unit booklet or split into topic tests
