(n+1) x (n+1)

[Destiny]

Any other school doing (n+1)x(n+1) for non equivalent environments instead of n+n+1?

hey yeh i was taught the (n+1) x (n+1) but my chem teacher just said use n+n+1 if it shows up on a vcaa exam because the (n+1)x(n+1) is out of the scope of the course

You wouldn't be marked incorrectly for using the "(n+1) x (n+1)" method, though since, well, it's the correct one I'd stick with it even on a VCAA exam.

That said, I'm not entirely sure they'd ever even give you a molecular with two adjacent, non-equivalent environments anyway...

:/ Yeah, I guess.
