In atoms, systems with closed electron shells have the highest stability. Elements with valence electrons in the s and p shells, i.e., from the main groups, tend to have an octet, because that is the number of electrons in the second shell. D-block elements tend to form the most stable complexes...

Yesterday I walked to Powsin Botanical Garden, to seing blossom rhododendron's collection. It's one from largest collection of rhododendrons in Poland (probably in Kórnik Park is greather).

A piece of dry ice

The problem is that only you know that you see some kind of geometric progression and connection between objects. Western viewers are accustomed to "reading" photographs from left to right, unless there's something compelling in the strong points of the composition. Have you ever wondered why...

Generally, in most of these photos, the composition is unclear, and it's difficult to tell at first glance what was most interesting about this location. In the case of the first photo, in the school classroom—I don't know what's going on there; it's so dark that there's a void in the center...

In Likert-type scale from 1 to 5, point 3 is exactly in the middle, not below. Mathematical 3 is above average point (average is 2,5). If you construct scale with greather number of negative points (range 1-3,5 is greatest than range 4-5), it will seem to you that the grades are more negative...

Leaf of european maple (Acer platanoides,)

Saying that if someone gave it a 3/5 instead of a 5/5 it means they don't like it is terribly unfair.

Fr some others this is weird. For me it is great music.

You asked for a numerical rating, and now you have it.

It is similar in Polish language: -Malujesz obraz? (are you painting a picture?) -Maluję (I'm painting) Finnish and Slavic languages (and also Spanish, Korean or Japanese) are Pro-drop Languages (pronoun dropping). Because gender and grammatic case are coded in word's form, pronouns may be...

MOF-s are great substances. It's a pity that they found few practical applications. I plan to pursue this research topic—if I can secure a grant. I have an idea for a new type of ligand that allows for the selective separation of ions via a supramolecular recognition mechanism. I'm just not sure...

It should be clear noted that viruses from the hantavirus group have low human-to-human contagion. Just a few years ago, a medical review of the Andes virus deemed reports by doctors in Argentina of human-to-human transmission unreliable. Therefore, the most likely scenario for this ship...
