:cool: I'm doing my doctorate dissertation on the determination of molecular dimensions. I alredy know avagadro's constant and can understand the science of it, but the math is very complex and difficult to understand.:confused: I also need to know the different experiments that can be used, because the type of expirement is going to be inportant.:smile:

A doctoral dissertation? In what field? History of science?
 
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!!
