Task 1 - Atomic and electronic structure
Building on GCSE Chemistry, this task will give a more in-depth view of the structure of the atom.
This task has been designed to take you 2 hours to complete.

1. Try this GCSE quiz about atomic structure: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/z3sg2nb/test (4 minutes)
2. Then, watch this video tutorial about atoms and isotopes from Free Science Lessons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGLrYaI_UfE (6 minutes)
3. Try the simulation below to help you to build atoms according to the model you learned at GCSE. (30 minutes)

4. In your blog, discuss the model we have for the structure of the atom (as you understand it). Explain how electrons are arranged in shells according to the model you learned in GCSE. If you do not have a blog yet you will have to set one up. You might like to try Wordpress or Blogger. (60 minutes)
5. The model you learned at GCSE will change at AS level and this can be confusing for some students. You might like to read ahead using this page on the website: http://www.jiscscience.weebly.com/orbitals and then put a comment on your blog about how this model is different to the one you learned at GCSE (20 minutes)
