Slide 11 - Diapositive

Significant Points
Nomenclature
  • Symbols, signs and abbreviations used in examination papers will follow the recommendations made in the ASE publication Signs, Symbols and Systematics (The ASE Companion to 16–19 Science, 2000). However, the traditional names sulfite, nitrite, sulfur trioxide, sulfurous acid and nitrous acid will be used. Sulfur and all sulfur compounds will be spelt with f, not ph.

Slide 12 - Diapositive

Significant Points
Decimal markers
  • In accordance with current ASE convention, decimal markers in examination papers will be a single dot on the line. Candidates are expected to follow this convention in their answers.

Slide 13 - Diapositive

Significant Points
Units
  • In practical work, candidates will be expected to use SI units or, where appropriate, units approved by the BIPM for use with the SI (e.g. minute). A list of SI units and units approved for use with the SI may be found in the SI brochure at www.bipm.org

Slide 14 - Diapositive

Significant Points
Units (LIMITATIONS)
  • The use of imperial/customary units such as the inch and degree Fahrenheit is NOT acceptable and should be discouraged. In all examinations where data is supplied for use in questions, candidates will be expected to use units consistent with the units supplied and should not attempt conversion to other systems of units unless this is a requirement of the question.

Slide 15 - Diapositive

Significant Points

Special note regarding units and significant figures
  • Candidates should be aware that misuse of units and/or significant figures, i.e. failure to quote units where necessary, the inclusion of units in quantities defined as ratios or quoting answers to an inappropriate number of significant figures, is liable to be penalised in the assessments.
