Anyone know the dielectric constant of OTS?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the dielectric constant of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) and its variation depending on whether the glass has been treated with it. A participant notes the ambiguity of the initial question, suggesting that it lacks specificity. Another contributor clarifies that they were treating silicon, which may impact the dielectric constant. A reference is mentioned that provides dielectric constants for alkyl-trichlorosilanes, indicating values between 2.4 and 2.5. The conversation highlights the need for precise context when discussing dielectric properties in relation to different substrates.

Octadecyltrichlorosilane? Before or after the glass has been treated with it? I don't know the answer regardless but I do know your question is so vague that no one will be able to answer it.
 


umm, well I was treating silicon, does that make a diffeerence? I fdound a reference that has dielectric constants for alkly-trichlorosilanes and it gives it at between 2.4 and 2.5...
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

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...

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!!
