AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on comparing the covalent character of titanium chlorides, specifically TiCl3 and TiCl4, as well as TiBr3. It highlights that TiCl4 may exhibit more covalent character due to its higher cationic nature compared to TiCl3. The structural differences among these compounds are crucial for understanding their covalent characteristics, suggesting that analyzing the molecular structures can provide insights into their bonding behavior.

You refer to ##TiCl_4##, ##TiCl_3##, and ##TiBr_3##. Which ones do you want to compare? One important hint is to look at the structures of the compounds.
 

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!!
