AI Thread Summary
A chemistry and physics teacher at a private school in central New Jersey is seeking a professional who works with atoms to speak to their 11th and 12th-grade classes. Suggestions for finding such a speaker include reaching out to local colleges or universities and checking their physics department faculty pages for contact information. Specific examples provided include Rutgers University and Princeton University, highlighting research areas like ion implantation and atomic physics. Engaging with faculty members involved in these fields can facilitate arranging a guest speaker for the classes.

Hi! I teach 11th grade chemistry and 12th grade physics and I would be thrilled if a person that works with atoms could speak to my classes. I teach a private school in central NJ. Thanks
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
I would get in contact with a nearby college or university.
 
Thanks for your reply. How exactly would you go about finding someone that worked with atoms from a college?
 
Check the physics department faculty page of their website? Their contact information should be listed.

Somebody doing ion implantation, whether a physicist or material scientist/engineer would certainly be one who 'works' with atoms.

For example, at Rutgers - http://lsm.rutgers.edu/

At Princeton -
http://www.princeton.edu/physics/research/cond-matter-experiment/
or http://www.princeton.edu/physics/research/atomic-physics/

or contact the physics department - http://www.princeton.edu/physics/index.xml
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
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!!
