AI Thread Summary
Methods to change the 3D structure of a molecule include applying energy through thermal, electrical, or magnetic means, initiating chemical reactions, and utilizing mechanical forces with nanodevices. The feasibility of these methods varies based on specific conditions and the molecular structure in question. Additional methods may exist, but the discussion emphasizes the need for a more precise context to explore the full range of possibilities effectively.

Hello

I want to know the available methods to change the 3d structure of a molecule

Thanks
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
It is like saying "I want to know all prime numbers". There are infinitely many, so you can't.

But perhaps the question is in fact more precise or asked in some context, which limits possible answer space.
 
Well i was expecting something like:

By providing energy, thermal, electrical, magnetical.

By chemical reaction.
By mechanical force, using nanodevices.

Etc.

But a bit more precisely. Also, are all these methods feasible? Last, any other method?
 
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!!
