AI Thread Summary
Nitro fatty acids are a type of fatty acid characterized by the presence of a nitro (NO2) group. Research indicates that these compounds may have a beneficial effect on blood pressure, as demonstrated in studies involving mice and potentially extending to humans. The discussion raises questions about whether nitro fatty acids function as free radicals or antioxidants, highlighting the need for further exploration into their biochemical roles and health implications.

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?

Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
