AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for resources that clearly illustrate organic chemistry reaction mechanisms with arrow pushing, particularly for Organic II coursework. The participant expresses a desire to avoid creating additional study materials like note cards. They share a link to a book on Amazon, indicating it may be a useful resource for understanding mechanisms, which they believe is crucial for mastering the subject. The participant also highlights the effectiveness of anthropomorphizing molecules to facilitate learning new concepts in chemistry. Overall, the emphasis is on finding effective study aids that simplify the understanding of complex organic chemistry topics.

I start Organic II in the fall. I'm looking for a place that has O Chem I and II reaction mechanisms with arrow pushing shown. Yes, I'm lazy and don't want to make more note cards.

I apologize if I was unable to find it with the search function.

Thank you! Anthropomorphizing molecules/science makes for easy introductions to new topics. I'm on page 8 and it seems like its going to be very helpful. Thank you once again.
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
