writing responses question (1 Viewer)

[niecoups]

I was just wondering but is it true in chemistry you are able to just draw graphs out of nowhere as part of written responses in order to sustain your answer as well as being able to use dot points or scientific drawings? I keep hearing people say "Ohhhh yeah you can just write dot points/draw graphs in chem instead of writing everything out in full sentences" and I'm just so confused.

If I answered in dot points, exactly how concise are my dot points able to be? Like if I was talking about idk gibbs free energy and the spontaneity of a reaction would I just be able to write smth like

- ∆H<0 endothermic reaction as heat is being released
- ∆S>0 due to a higher ratio of (g) molecules on RHS vs LHS
(insert temperature value, brief ΔG = ΔH - TΔS calulaction)
- ∴ reaction is spontaneous for all temp as ∆G/Gibbs free value is very negative <0 and still be able to get all the marks needed?
Or do I have to word everything out in full english/expand more on my points? And as for diagrams, if a question does not specify about a diagram at all is it fine for me to dump say a matzwell boltzman distribution graph out of nowhere to help sustain my response?

Thanks guys!!!!!!

you have to write in actual sentences because the markers are genuinely retarded
