# Erm
What?

/Edit: Everyone carrying on to A-Level has said what they teach you is all bollocks. Based on my rusty GCSE knowledge, seems accurate :)

# LIES I SAY, LIES
Long story, but basically almost everything I've been taught at GCSE is a lie, and a lot of the stuff at A level too.

Ahh, thought so.

# It's technically 'a lie' because (Partially) of the much more complex composition of matter
As in increasingly small partciles believed to be formed of 10 dimensionally occuring energy packets but because of the fact they don't follow ring orbits, you're just extremely likely to find eight electrons within shelf two at any given time, it's not set in stone or uniform. /nerd answer

# Ohohoho (/jabba) you think that's the only lie?
Everything they tell us is a lie... The rates of reaction, the cycles, the processes, everything about light, radiation and so forth.

# not being wrong...
I thought that all physics was based on the principle that it is never right. Its just not wrong for a series of cases. (I'll cite Feynman on that one).

That said, I was told by a former chemistry teacher that they had just worked out how the cell walls really worked during the second year of her degree, and they gave a series of panic lectures to correct the wrong stuff they were told earlier.

Chemistry is ace, and it's not that hard. The rings are just possible places bits of an atom can be. You'll understand it fine
