Diamagnetism and Hydrogen Bond Strength

AI Thread Summary
Research indicates that uniform magnetic fields can enhance hydrogen bonding in water solutions and increase redox potential. This phenomenon is linked to the behavior of electrons in atomic orbitals, where the orientation of a magnetic field influences electron speed. As electron orbitals accelerate or decelerate, it may affect an atom's ability to form bonds. Additionally, studies show that magnetic fields can increase the surface tension of water, although the mechanisms behind these effects require further clarification. Understanding these interactions could provide insights into the fundamental properties of water and its behavior in various chemical contexts.

I've read a few papers regarding the effects of a uniform magnetic field on water solutions, but I'm a complete illiterate when it comes to deciphering the jargon. So far, many papers confirm that a uniform magnetic field strengthens hydrogen bonds and can increase the redox potential. I've included two papers exploring the effects. I hope someone can explain how this is happening.

Many experiments and textbooks confirm that (in the contemporary fashion) the orbit of an electron will speed up or slow down due to the orientation of a magnetic field.

Does the speed electron orbit affect the atom's potential to form a bond?

Here's a research paper exploring the effects of a magnetic field on the surface tension of water.

The conclusions were that surface tension increased. How is this happening? I appreciate your help!
 

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!!
