AI Thread Summary
Chemistry-related blogging is gaining attention, with sites like chemicalblogs.com being highlighted for their potential popularity. However, the amateur chemistry community online is considered small, primarily consisting of individuals seeking homework assistance rather than engaging in broader discussions or blogging. Some users express a preference for documenting their experiments on personal websites, as this offers more flexibility compared to participating in larger blogging platforms. The overall sentiment suggests that while there is interest in chemistry blogging, its audience may be limited.

Since blogging is very popular now.

Did you design that site? Looks nice. I’m not sure how many hits it’ll receive as the amateur chemistry community on the internet is rather small. Most people who sign up on chemistry forums are looking for homework help. For me personally, I prefer to “blog” my experiments on my own website. This allows me greater flexibility.
 
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!!
