(......) is used to denote material that is not specifically required.
OR designates alternative and independent ways of gaining the marks for the question. or indicates different ways of gaining the same mark.
COND indicates that the award of this mark is conditional upon a previous mark being gained.
·

Unusual responses which include correct Chemistry that answers the question should always be rewarded-even if they are not mentioned in the marking scheme.
