Must know

1Chemical symbols and formulae are the language used to represent elements, compounds, atoms, and molecules clearly.
2A symbol represents an element; a formula represents a substance.
3Capital letters start element symbols, small letters complete symbols, and subscripts count atoms.
4CO has carbon and oxygen; Co is cobalt.

Formula / process

1A capital letter may be followed by one small letter to form one symbol.
2Chemical symbols and formulae are the language used to represent elements, compounds, atoms, and molecules clearly.
3Do not change formula subscripts; use coefficients only.
4A chemical equation is balanced when the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides.

Exam traps

1Students may split symbols incorrectly, such as reading Na as N and a.
2A capital letter may be followed by one small letter to form one symbol.
3Did each element symbol start with a capital letter?
4Students may change H₂O to H₂O₂ to balance oxygen.

Answer frame

Start with the exact keyword or formula before adding explanation.
Use one example, diagram cue, observation, or substitution to support the answer.
For 3 marks: definition, reason, and one supporting point.
For 5 marks: setup, method/process, example, conclusion, and final check.

Exam strategy

Write to the mark pattern

2 focus areas

Practice written answers Chapter test

Likely prompts

1Observation and inference questions from reactions or experiments.
2Equation, apparatus, separation, structure, or property comparison prompts.
3Reasoning questions that connect conditions, products, and safety precautions.

Avoid these traps

1Students may split symbols incorrectly, such as reading Na as N and a.
2A capital letter may be followed by one small letter to form one symbol.
3Separate symbols by capital letters.
4No subscript means one atom.

Answer frame by marks

3 marks

Name the substance/process, state the observation or property, then give the reason.

5 marks

Write the setup or equation, explain conditions, describe observations, and conclude with product or inference.
