scientific community. (CW1 a,b,d,e)
CW2 The atomic structure and properties of elements are used to organise them in the Periodic
Table. (CW2 a-f)
CW3: Chemical reactions involve rearranging atoms to form new substances; during a chemical
reaction mass is not created or destroyed. (CW3 a-g)
CW4: Different types of chemical reactions are used to produce a range of products and can occur at
different rates and involve energy transfer. (CW4 a,c-e)
