Biology sample mark scheme Based on a judgement of the level of demand of each test we would estimate that students who achieve 80% or more on core tests would be on track to achieve a grade 5 at GCSE level and students who achieve 80% of more on extended tests would be on track to achieve a grade 7 or above at GCSE level. Please bear in mind that progress is not always linear and that teachers remain the best judge of student performance. This is for your guidance only.

Chemistry – The particulate nature of matter (core) Q

Answer

AO

Marks

1a

From left to right: liquid (1); gas (1); solid (1)

AO1

1b

In the cup the particles are in fixed, regular positions (1) but in the milk the particles are in random positions and can move around (1).

AO3

2

1c

There are spaces between the particles in a gas but the particles in a solid or liquid are touching (1). Therefore the particles in a gas can be pushed together easily but those in a solid or liquid cannot (1).

2

subliming – solid to gas
