Discovering chemistry

This badge has been issued for participating in the activities in the free non-accredited course Discovering chemistry. This course supported demonstration of the following learning outcomes: explain what is meant by isotopes, atomic numbers and mass numbers of the atoms of chemical elements; indicate ways in which the chemical periodicity represented by the Periodic Table is reflected in the electronic structure of atoms; explain how the molecular structure of chemical compounds is linked to their macroscopic properties; construct balanced chemical equations for reactions; use the Lewis structures of some simple chemical substances to illustrate the ideas of the octet rule, the electron-pair bond, and rationalise the three-dimensional structure of molecules.
