Is Nitric Oxide Considered a Ferroelectric Material?

AI Thread Summary
Nitric Oxide is identified as slightly polar, but its classification as ferroelectric is questioned. The discussion references its behavior as a ligand in transition metal complexes, specifically with silver. While HCl is noted as ferroelectric, there is uncertainty regarding the ferroelectric properties of nitric oxide. The conversation highlights a lack of understanding about the specific orbital criteria or other factors that would determine its ferroelectric nature.

I remember it being polar as a ligand in a transition metal complex crystal of Silver , I also remember HCl as being ferroelectric, my guess is that it is not, however I'm not aware of any orbital criterias or any other for that matter at the moment.
 

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!!
