AI Thread Summary
Several free software options for drawing chemical elements and simulating chemical reactions are available. ChemDraw and ISISDraw are recommended for Windows and Mac users, offering robust features for chemistry drawing. For Linux users, there are various chemistry applications, although options for simulating reaction mechanisms are limited and not as effective.

ChemDraw and ISISDraw are both good chemistry drawing programs that run under Windows and Mac.

If you are a linux user, there are many chemistry apps out there...if it is reaction mechanisms that you are looking for, unfortunately there aren't too many programs that do them very well.
 

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!!
