Abstract
The scale of chemical events at the particulate level is sufficiently small that anybody who contemplates the science at this level uses their imagination. Significant efforts have been made for decades to provide guardrails to chemistry novices about visualizing chemistry from the perspective of atoms and molecules. Is it time to consider the imaginative act in constructing meaning more closely as a component of learning chemistry?
