Task 1: Atomic and electronic structure
Task 2: Chemical calculations
Task 3: Structure and bonding
Task 4: Summary
The chemistry part of the "bridging the gap" project has been designed to take you 10 hours to complete. There are some tasks that require you to choose some questions to answer from a selection of many questions. Feel free to complete more questions if you have time, but try not to feel overwhelmed!
