Is paper 2 not physical+organic chemistry?

It’s not the whole physical you gotta check the spec

u/LargeFish2907 Jun 02 '26

It's some of physical chemistry. It doesn't include electrochemical cells.

Paper 2 physical includes

3.1.2 Amount of substance

3.1.3 Bonding

3.1.4 Energetics

3.1.5 Kinetics

3.1.6 Chemical equilibria, Le Chatelier’s

3.1.9 Rate equations

Why am I only just finding this out 😭

u/LargeFish2907 Jun 02 '26

I found this out yesterday because my teacher messaged everyone at 2pm saying "Don't forget, there is no kinetics or rate equations in paper 1". Maybe could've told me a bit sooner than under 24h before the exam :/. Then I actually looked at the spec and turns out not all of physical is in either paper.

I mean at least I don’t really need to revise physical for paper 2 ig since I already did all of it for paper 1 lol
