COMMENTS
This web-site is designed for students to help their lesson studies. The material is scientifically reliable but it covers a narrow range of activities, like presentations, easy experiments and solutions to problems about chemistry subjects in the regular curriculum. The web-site can help students who need some basic and quick information about chemistry lesson. On the other hand, the weak point of this web-site is that it doesn’t have enough interactive material. It is easily reachable and simple.
