OCR GCSE Chemistry A (Foundation Tier) – Paper 1: Question Paper (J248/01) – 2025

This question paper assesses students’ understanding of the fundamental chemistry concepts in the OCR GCSE Chemistry A (9–1) specification at Foundation Tier level, focusing on recall, simple application, and basic scientific skills.

Paper 1 covers content from the first half of the specification, including:

  • Atomic structure and the periodic table – basic particles, elements, and trends

  • Bonding, structure, and properties of matter – simple bonding types and material properties

  • Quantitative chemistry – basic calculations involving mass and simple equations

  • Chemical changes – acids, alkalis, salts, and simple electrolysis

  • Energy changes – exothermic and endothermic reactions

The paper includes multiple-choice questions, short structured questions, simple calculations, and basic data interpretation, designed to be accessible while still testing understanding of key chemistry ideas.

This question paper is ideal for revision practice, mock exams, classroom assessment, and independent study, helping students become familiar with exam style, wording, and the structure of Foundation Tier Chemistry exams.
