Oh good, i liked that with A-level chemistry, didn't understand most of the concepts because they just didn't add up.

They dumb a lot of things down in A-level to the point it's not true anymore.
 
I'm assuming you've done s,p,d,f orbitals in Chemistry? They tell you it's the path electrons (which are described as balls of matter) take around the nucleus. It's actually a very complicated result of quantum mechanics. It's more about where there is the highest probability of finding an electron is.

I don't know if your going to be surprised or not but they have told us that in physics and in chemistry.

I don't think it's on the syllabus though.

A-level and understanding are oxymorons. Wink

I meant that A-level is rubbish, in that what you learn is wrong. But I guess that makes it hard in turn. Tongue
