AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for resources that clearly illustrate organic chemistry reaction mechanisms with arrow pushing, particularly for Organic II coursework. The participant expresses a desire to avoid creating additional study materials like note cards. They share a link to a book on Amazon, indicating it may be a useful resource for understanding mechanisms, which they believe is crucial for mastering the subject. The participant also highlights the effectiveness of anthropomorphizing molecules to facilitate learning new concepts in chemistry. Overall, the emphasis is on finding effective study aids that simplify the understanding of complex organic chemistry topics.

I start Organic II in the fall. I'm looking for a place that has O Chem I and II reaction mechanisms with arrow pushing shown. Yes, I'm lazy and don't want to make more note cards.

I apologize if I was unable to find it with the search function.

Thank you! Anthropomorphizing molecules/science makes for easy introductions to new topics. I'm on page 8 and it seems like its going to be very helpful. Thank you once again.
 

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!!

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...
