In my experience, they do not. If units are included, they must be correct. One note...different magnitude may be ok if answer matches. Ex: 3000 J or 3 kJ may both be accepted

As an intro to IMFs, I did the Lavs Lamp demo today, and students asked really great questions! We followed it up with Modeling Molecular Polarity from AACT. They started making connections!

I love it!!! The explanations are particularly useful. Is there any way to add hydrogen bond donor versus hydrogen bond acceptor? We've seen that on recent AP exams!

Starting a new place to share and exchange ideas. Today we used the real-world phenomena of conductivity testing water for contamination as a way to introduce the idea of ionic compounds and the fact that charges are what held them together. #iteachchem
