Exam reference material
AQA Chemistry data booklet
The A-level booklet contains the periodic table, physical constants and the spectroscopy data used in structure-determination questions.
Current AQA downloads
AQA moved its documents away from the old filestore addresses. Use the official qualification resource pages above to obtain the current data booklet or periodic-table insert.
What GCSE candidates receive
GCSE Chemistry uses the separate AQA periodic-table insert. The A-level spectroscopy tables are outside the GCSE examination material.

Which table should you use?
IR spectrum
Use the infrared absorption table to connect broad absorption ranges with bond types and functional groups.
Proton NMR
Use the chemical-shift ranges alongside integration and splitting information from the question.
Carbon-13 NMR
Use the carbon chemical-shift ranges to identify distinct carbon environments.
Periodic table
Use the relative atomic masses printed in the official insert when completing numerical work.
