Asking a good question
Welcome to Chemistry Stack Exchange!
Before you post a question, please check the following:
- Search whether your question has been asked and answered on this site.
- Are you asking whether your answer to a problem is correct? If so try to identify a question that requires more than a yes/no answer.
- Is your question a "homework" type of problem? Such questions are ok if formulated properly. Don't copy and paste a question, show your attempt to answer it.
Follow the links above to understand common issues to avoid to make sure a question will be well received.
Once you're ready with an appropriate on-topic question:
- Describe the problem and what you have attempted in your own words. Be sure to explain clearly and in detail. Check spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
- Focus on one problem, don't ask too much at once.
- Check guides on how to format math equations or chemical formulae.
Following these steps helps avoid confusion and should provide an answer faster!
