Yes- that is how they lose the concept and get tangled up with imf. Physicists don’t help by describing bonds being broken in changes of state #ChatChemistry

ALevel- I use balloons for shapes. Always link to s-/p-overlap so that they carry concepts through#ChatChemistry

#ChatChemistry start with β€œall bonds are electrostatic attractions” then define the positive and negative β€œparticle” of each toe of bond. Keep reminding the about β€œopposites attract”. Distinguish between β€œwhat” a bond is from β€œhow” it is formed

#@ChatChemistry if I had a penny for every time a S asks if they need eye protection if they wear glasses, I will be a very rich teacher by now.

#@ChatChemistry-until the curriculum is trimmed, this will continue to be an issue. Add on increased contact time.

@chatchemistry.bsky.social 1-I don't think we have discussed foundation vs higher tier entry at GCSE for a while. 2- Combined vs Sepatate (engagement from HE will be helpful)
