AI Thread Summary
Discrepancies in the boiling temperatures of chemical elements, specifically tin and gallium, have been noted, with published values differing by hundreds of degrees Celsius. For tin, sources report boiling points ranging from 2270 °C to 2875 °C, while gallium's values vary between 2070 °C and 2403 °C. These inconsistencies raise questions about the reliability of various sources, including textbooks and online references. The discussion suggests that such variations are not uncommon and may stem from different original publications or updates in scientific understanding over time. Participants are encouraged to consider the reliability of sources when seeking accurate boiling temperature information, although no definitive recommendation for the best source is provided.

I have noted big disagreements of a scale of hundreds of degrees centigrade in published values for the boiling temperature of chemical elements such as tin and gallium.

For example,

Tin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin" - 2602 °C, 2875 K, 
http://www.chemicalelements.com/elements/sn.html" - 2270.0°C, 2543.15 K
which agrees with one of my textbooks
Penguin Dictionary of Chemistry - 2270°C
but not the other
Chemistry, Molecules, Matter and Change - 2720°C


Gallium
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium" - 2204 °C, 2477 K, 
http://www.chemicalelements.com/elements/ga.html" 2403.0 °C, 2676.15 K
which agrees with one of my textbooks
Penguin Dictionary of Chemistry - 2403 °C
but not the other
Chemistry, Molecules, Matter and Change - 2070 °C


Of course I am wondering why the different values - errors by the authors of books or websites or genuine disagreements between scientists as to the values?

Which source do people recommend as the most reliable source of accurate boiling temperature information and why?

I can't tell you what is the best source, what I can tell you is that such discrepancies are nothing unusual. Sometimes they can be traced down to separate sources that originally published different values of something. If I recall correctly that's the case with density tables of the sulfuric acid - they come in two flavors, and I have seen both versions printed already in books from before IWW. All later ones where just reprints.
 
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!!
