Inconsistent use of <chem>[edit]
Your recent edits of chemical formulae are inconsistent. A specific example from Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory:
(nowiki) Another example is furnished by substances like [[aluminium hydroxide]], Al(OH)<sub>3</sub>. : Al(OH)<sub>3</sub> + OH<sup>−</sup> ⇌ {{chem|Al(OH)|4|−}}, acting as an acid : 3H<sup>+</sup> + Al(OH)<sub>3</sub> ⇌ 3H<sub>2</sub>O + Al<sup>3+</sup>(aq), acting as a base
Shown as
Another example is furnished by substances like aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)3.
- Al(OH)3 + OH− ⇌ Al(OH)−
4, acting as an acid - 3H+ + Al(OH)3 ⇌ 3H2O + Al3+(aq), acting as a base
The inconsistency can lead to characters which should be the same size on the screen being different sizes (though not in this instance, on my screen).Petergans (talk) 13:08, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
I only use the templates for chemical reactions, I don't change the reaction itself, in maths for example, we use this templates and have same results.Lordthe6 (talk) 19:48, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
- That's fine, but it's not the issue that I raise. The issue is inconsistency in in the way the <chem> works.You can see this in the following excerpt.
- (Source code : Al(OH)<sub>3</sub> + OH<sup>−</sup> ⇌ {{chem|Al(OH)|4|−}}, acting as an acid :<chem>H2O + H2O <=> H3O+ + OH- </chem>)
- Al(OH)3 + OH− ⇌ Al(OH)−
4, acting as an acid
- Al(OH)3 + OH− ⇌ Al(OH)−
- This inconsistency arises from the way that <chem> works. The result is ugly and possibly misleading. What is the cause the difference?Petergans (talk) 11:54, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
Well, you have a point, I apologize the fact is that I finish the change rigth now, in the another change was incomplete. Lordthe6 (talk) 16:00, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
