:Why do you ''have'' to use O instead of the correct O<sub>2</sub>? A reaction between O and C<sub>x</sub>H<sub>y</sub> is ''not the same in any way'' as a reaction between O<sub>2</sub> and C<sub>x</sub>H<sub>y</sub>. I'm a 4th year chemical engineering student (plus I had 2 years of chemistry in high school) and I have never seen atomic oxygen written as O, unless we were discussing radical reactions. Also, on this article I had made other changes, but you reverted those along with my O<sub>2</sub>. Those were just clarity changes, I don't see why those had to be changed. | :Why do you ''have'' to use O instead of the correct O<sub>2</sub>?
