AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of chemical polarity and whether it can change with heat. It clarifies that the dipole moment of a molecule is not influenced by temperature. Instead, the focus shifts to the orientation of molecules and their symmetry properties when heated. An example mentioned is the behavior of a rubber band when heated, suggesting that while the dipole moment remains constant, the physical properties and orientation of certain materials may change with temperature.

Is there a chemical that when heated its polarity changes?

Polarity? I don't know what you mean - electronic dipole moment? Steroisomerism?

Dipole moment is not affected by temperate.

Perhaps he/she is referring to the orientation of the individual molecule itself with respect to its symmetry properties, in that sense you may want to consider heating a rubber band, although I don't know if this would be the best example.
 

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!!
