Can be separated by physical means. • Molecule: A group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. • Proton: A subatomic particle found in the nucleus with a relative mass of 1 and a charge of +1. • Neutron: A subatomic particle found in the nucleus with a relative mass of 1 and no charge (0). • Electron: A subatomic particle orbiting the nucleus with a negligible relative mass and a charge of -1. • Atomic Number (Z): The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Defines the element. • Mass Number (A): The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. • Isotopes: Atoms of the same element (same atomic number) but with different mass numbers due to a different number of neutrons. • Relative Atomic Mass ($A_r$): The weighted average mass of an atom of an element compared to $1/12$th the mass of a carbon-12 atom. • Relative Molecular Mass ($M_r$): The sum of the relative atomic masses of all atoms in one molecule of a compound. • Relative Formula Mass ($M_r$): The sum of the relative atomic masses of all atoms in the formula unit of an ionic compound. • Mole: The amount of substance that contains $6.02 \times 10^{23}$ particles (Avogadro's number). • Molar Mass: The mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in g/mol. Numerically equal to $A_r$ or $M_r$. • Empirical Formula: The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound. • Molecular Formula: The actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule. • Solid: Particles are closely packed in a fixed, regular arrangement, vibrate about fixed positions.

![🎓 Cambridge Grade Thresholds 2026 – Your Complete Guide to Results Day Results Day is finally here! Whether you're celebrating a well-deserved A* or planning your next steps, Cambridge Classroom has everything you need to understand your grades and prepare for the journey ahead. What Are Grade Thresholds? Grade thresholds (also known as grade boundaries) are the minimum marks required to achieve each grade in a Cambridge examination. After every exam session, Cambridge International publishes official grade threshold tables showing exactly how many raw marks you needed for an A*, A, B, C, and so on. Here's the key thing to understand: grade boundaries change every year. They depend on the difficulty of the papers and how the entire cohort of students performed. A mark that gave you an A* in one session might give you an A in another – and that's completely normal. For example: In the June 2025 session, the A* threshold for O Level Chemistry 5070 was 169 out of 200 marks. That means if you scored 169 or above, you achieved the top grade. Anything below that fell into the A, B, or lower categories. 📥 Download Grade Thresholds for Every Subject – FREE! Cambridge Classroom is proud to offer free PDF downloads of grade threshold tables for all Cambridge IGCSE and O Level subjects. Whether you took: Chemistry (5070 / 0620) Physics (0625) Biology (0610) Mathematics (0580) English (0500) Accounting (0452) Art & Design (0400) or any other Cambridge subject – we have your grade threshold PDF ready for download. 👉 [Download your subject's grade threshold PDF here – completely FREE!] 🎉 To Those Who Achieved Their Goals – CONGRATULATIONS! If you're reading this with the grades you worked so hard for – we are so proud of you! 🎊 Those late-night study sessions, the endless past papers, the moments of doubt, and the moments of breakthrough – it all paid off. You've proven that dedication, smart preparation, and consistent effort lead to success. Your journey doesn't stop here. This is just the beginning of an exciting academic and professional future. Whether you're moving on to A Levels, university applications, or your dream career – carry this confidence with you. 💪 To Those Who Need Improvement – This Is NOT the End If your results weren't what you hoped for, take a deep breath. This is not a reflection of your potential – it's simply a signal that a different approach might be needed. Every successful person has faced setbacks. What matters is what you do next.
