    Bond Change Spin
AI Thread Summary
In a dipolar bond between two elements, the redistribution of electrons occurs to achieve stability. A key point of discussion revolves around the scenario where two redistributed electrons possess the same spin. The question arises whether the spin of one of these electrons changes from 1/2 to -1/2 or vice versa. This leads to inquiries about the mechanisms behind such a spin change and its implications in the context of electron behavior in dipolar interactions. The conversation highlights a need for clarification on the principles of electron spin and its relationship to bonding and electron redistribution, as well as any recent findings that could shed light on this phenomenon.

OK so we have a dipolar bond between two elements. This bond makes the other electrons redistribute in order to rest in peace. Everything's OK up until now. What happens, however, when two of these other electrons have the same spin an yet they end up together because of this redistribution? I have been told that the spin of one of them changes (that is, from 1/2 to -1/2 or the other way around). Is that true? And if it is, how does that happen?

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!!
