AI Thread Summary
Iodine and fluorine are different elements, though they belong to the same group in the periodic table, known as the halogen family. Potassium iodide and potassium fluoride are also distinct compounds, as they are composed of different elements. While both iodine and fluorine share some similarities in their chemical properties due to their classification as halogens, they exhibit different behaviors and characteristics. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the distinctions between these elements and their respective compounds.

I think you want to say
Is potassium iodide the same thing as potassium fluoride?
they can not be the same as they are not made up of the same elements however if you check Iodine and fluorine ..they are in the same group (Halogen family ) .. do these compounds have any resemblance in their properties ?
 
Honestly this is something I just barely started researching..
 

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!!
