Alex stared at the POGIL worksheet. The model showed a diagram of atoms before and after a reaction. The first question read: “How many oxygen atoms are on the left side? How many on the right side?”

Alex took a breath. “Okay. Show me which oxygen atoms you’re counting on the right.” pogil chemistry

Jordan pointed. “See this molecule here? It has two oxygens. And this one over here has two more. That’s four.” Alex stared at the POGIL worksheet

Jordan leaned over. “Wait, I got two on the left, but four on the right. How did you get three?” I got two on the left

“Easy,” Alex muttered, counting quickly. “Two on the left. Three on the right. That’s wrong, right? That can’t be right.”
