AI Thread Summary
Neutralizing chlorine in a hot tub before use is a concern for many users who want to avoid skin irritation from chemicals. One suggested method is using sodium thiosulfate, which is commonly employed to remove chlorine from fish tanks and is considered safe.

The discussion highlights the importance of balancing sanitation with user comfort in hot tub maintenance.

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!!
