It's okay. I was just wondering.

What? I don't get it. Why did you include my post from Chemistry? Edit: Oh, I get it; you must have put it in your multi-super-quote thing, as you were also active in the "What really are resonance structures?" thread.

Yes.

Iron is a common magnet component. Iron has 4 unpaired electrons, and so they have spin. This spin creates magnetism, if I remember correctly. Pocket domains are aligned, but not relative to each other, so an iron nail is not magnetic. However, if it is exposed to an external magnetic field, the...

Good question. The reality is somewhere between all of the resonance structures. For example, benzene's C-C bond length is somewhere between the single and double bond lengths for carbon.

To show an example of Avogadro's Law being correct, you must show that V1/n1=V2/n2 (at STP). The number of moles of gas can be shown with experiments, as previously stated, and the volume at standard temperature and pressure is simple: just put in a piston to the outside, and cool the container...
