yea!

that's pretty impressive. maybe that's the way to go, since they do pick up language so well at that age.
 
She knows more chemistry then the people in my last semester class, that's amazing!
 
Awww, that video makes me want to have a daughter.
 
Watch out Borek, she will be after a mods job on pf by 5yrs old.
 
I love the contrast of a little girl in classic girly clothes, but picking up chemistry like everyone thinks only boys should do. She's going to terrify and impress some teachers!
 
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!!
