AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights a lack of research and articles on Pyrolytic Diamond compared to the abundance of information on Pyrolytic Graphite. It suggests that Pyrolytic Diamond may exhibit stronger diamagnetism than Pyrolytic Graphite at room temperature, raising interest in its potential properties. Additionally, there is a noted absence of experiments exploring the supercooled properties of Pyrolytic Graphite using Liquid Nitrogen. The conversation also touches on the formation processes of diamond, indicating that pyrolytic carbon does not convert to diamond. Industrial diamond production is mentioned, with references to companies like Norton and GE, which has developed and sold technology for high-quality diamonds.

I have searched the web top to bottem for any articles on Pyrolytic Diamond, I am starting to believe that nobody has thought of doing such a material Experiment.

There are tons of articles on Pyrolytic Graphite but none of Pyrolytic Diamond.

I am aware that Pyrolytic Graphite Levitates on strong Magnetic fields at room temperature, Maybe Pyrolytic Diamond will be stronger in Diamagnetism than Pyrolytic Graphite at room temperature.

Also, I have not found any experiments using Liquid Nitrogen on Pyrolytic Graphite for determining its super cooled properties.:smile:
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Diamond is formed in some very special processes, and I believe that pyrolytic carbon does not form diamond. There are several companies that produce industrial diamond, e.g. Norton http://www.norton-diamond.com/

GE developed a process for high quality diamonds, and apparently sold the technology. http://www.abrasivesnet.com/en/news/littlejohn.html

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!!
