I can't apply my knowledge of shielding to explain the three slopes

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a plot featuring three colors: red, green, and purple, with a focus on the behavior of their slopes towards the end of a subsequence. The red line is noted to taper off, indicating a decrease in slope, while the green and purple lines do not exhibit this behavior. It is pointed out that purple only has two data points per subsequence, making it difficult to assess its slope behavior accurately. However, the green line appears to be tapering off, suggesting that its slope becomes shallower as the variable Z increases. The conversation also includes inquiries about the source of the plot and whether the question pertains to schoolwork.

TL;DR Summary
Why red,purple,green slopes not all the same?

Also, why does red taper off slope towards the end of the subsequence, but green and purple never taper off in slope (flatten out)?

Welcome to PF.

What is the source of this plot? Can you say more about it?

Also, is this question for schoolwork?

Purple only has 2 points per subsequence, so you can't really say it does or doesn't taper off. But the green points certainly look like they are tapering off to me. Assuming 'tapering off' means that the slope shallows out as Z increases.
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
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!!
I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
