Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry syllabusChemistry YCH11First assessment 2019

Read the functional group first: identify amine class, amide parent chain or amino-acid substituent, then choose the displayed, skeletal or molecular formula required.

How this is tested

  • Draw skeletal, displayed or structural formulae for named amines and amides.
  • Classify amine groups as primary, secondary or tertiary from nitrogen substitution.
  • Choose IUPAC names for amino acids, acrylamide, amides or nitrogen monomers.
