AI Thread Summary
Atoms cannot be seen directly with visible light due to their size, which is smaller than the wavelengths of visible light. While high-quality microscopes cannot visualize atoms directly, indirect observation is possible using specialized techniques. Scanning tunneling microscopes and X-ray microscopes are examples of tools that utilize principles beyond visible light to visualize atomic structures.

Cant we see atoms??

In a book I read that theoretically it is not possible to see atoms even if high quality microscopes are used. So why is that?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org


It is impossible to see them visually because they are smaller than the wavelengths of visible light. You can indirectly see them with various special microscopes that use operating principles other than visible light
 


Thanks!
So we can use x ray microscopes etc right?
 

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!!
