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.
 
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!!
