What exactly is the difference between something like (XY)2 and 2XY? I get that the 2XY would indicate 2 moles of XY, but I don't see why (XY)2 wouldn't be the same thing, so long as the whole formula is surrounded by parenthesis? thanks for any help

Oiy. It is my 6th year teaching physics and early on, I diverged from the textbook (Holt Modern Physics) regarding how they handled "g". To me, it made more sense that "g" was -9.81m/s2 , while the text handled it as "g" = 9.81 m/s2, and negatives are assigned directionally. Overall, my...
