In summary, simple conversion is the process of converting a value from one unit of measurement to another. It is important because it allows for communication and comparison of measurements in different units and helps solve problems involving different units. To perform a simple conversion, one must know the conversion factor between the two units and multiply the value by the conversion factor. A conversion factor is a number that represents the relationship between two units of measurement. Common mistakes when performing a simple conversion include using the wrong conversion factor, forgetting to include units, and rounding incorrectly. It is important to double check work and use accurate conversion factors to avoid these mistakes.

Not knowing what you did we can't say if you did it right.

Ugh. You're right...I can't believe I forgot to post that.

I took 0.132 and multiplied by 4.36 x 10^(-18) J/Hartree, then divided by (5.29 x 10^(-11))^2 m^2/Bohr^2. This gives me something like 205.7 J/m^2.

Based on the given information, it appears that you have converted the units correctly. 0.132 Hartrees/Bohr^2 is equivalent to 0.132 J/m^2. However, it is always best to double check your conversions using a reliable conversion tool or formula to ensure accuracy. Additionally, it is important to include the units in your final answer to avoid confusion. In this case, the correct conversion would be 0.132 J/m^2.
