AI Thread Summary
The Erikson-Pitteri Neighborhood refers to the potential for crystal structures to revert to other stable configurations. This concept appears to be linked to discussions in condensed matter physics. The original reference for this topic can be found in a paper on arXiv, which may provide further insights into the implications of this phenomenon in crystal behavior. The thread indicates a lack of familiarity among participants regarding the specifics of the Erikson-Pitteri Neighborhood, suggesting it may require a deeper understanding of physics to fully grasp its significance.

Hello,

Has anyone heard of the Erikson-Pitteri Neighborhood? From what I can glean in seems to represent the potentials within crystal structures to revert to other possible stable structures. Here is the place I saw it orginally.

Thanks,

Honestly,no one has any idea? Maybe it is more of a physics question.

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!!
