Discussions from the magazine, website and social media

In the September issue David Read reviewed a recent research paper ‘Overcoming barriers in bonding’, this led our readers to consider their experiences with the octet rule. Also in the September issue our CPD article showed how you can help your students understand equilibria and Le Chatelier’s principle. Teachers responded, explaining how they introduce equilibrium to their students. In response to David Read's report on a novel form of assessment, creative exercises, the article's original author got in touch to share his series of CEs for general chemistry. But by far the most discussed topic was which prompted numerous and detailed responses from our readers.

To view the discussions and feedback mentioned and find links to the original articles read the full article.
