<div class="question" style="padding-left: 20px;">
<p class="p1">Candidates who knew how to calculate the abundances of Cu-63 and Cu-65 generally scored full marks, but many had no idea at all on how to approach the question in (c).</p>
<div class="question_part_label">c.</div>
</div>
<div class="question" style="padding-left: 20px;">
<p class="p1">Surprisingly very few candidates were able to state a radioisotope used in medicine. C-13 and C-14 were often given and sometimes elements were suggested but with no specified mass number.</p>
<div class="question_part_label">d.</div>
</div>
<div class="question" style="padding-left: 20px;">
<p class="p1">Approximately 25% of candidates got the equation mark, but many gave incorrect state symbols. A significant number of candidates wrote equations with the formation of Na<sub><span class="s1">2</span></sub>O or even atomic H.</p>
<div class="question_part_label">e.</div>
</div>
<div class="question" style="padding-left: 20px;">
<p class="p1">Some of the weaker candidates explained the reactivity by referring to the change in reactivity down group 1 with no further explanation. Many referred to the increased number of shells in Rb or the increased distance the valence electron is from the nucleus, but some did not go on to explain that this affected its attraction/ease of loss. Very few candidates scored the marks for reference to valence electrons being in the third and fifth shells respectively.</p>
<div class="question_part_label">f.</div>
</div>
<div class="question" style="padding-left: 20px;">
<p class="p1">The colour change in (i) was usually known. There was rarely any explanation in (ii) as to why there is no observable reaction with the fluoride.</p>
