I missed a day of school due to sickness and while I was out the class went over isomers in our organic chemistry unit. I copied the notes down but quite frankly I am confused as hell about how to find them. Can someone please explain them to me.

What would you expect us to write that hasn't already been written better and in greater detail in your course textbook, on Wikipedia, etc?

Try that first, and then come back if you have a more specific question.
 
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!!
