AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the proper IUPAC naming of two compounds. The first compound can be correctly named as 1-amino-4-methylcyclohexane, while the second can be named as 1-amino-2-methylcyclohexane. Both names adhere to IUPAC rules, despite minor typographical errors. The alternative names referenced in the discussion do not conform to these rules and may instead reflect common naming conventions used by professionals familiar with methylcyclohexane and its derivatives. The importance of following IUPAC guidelines for clarity and standardization in chemical nomenclature is emphasized.

Apart from a few typos(*), your names follow the IUPAC rules, while the ones in the picture do not. They might be common names for people working with methylcyclohexane and their derivatives.

(*) 1-amino-4-methylcyclohexane and 1-amino-2-methylcyclohexane
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

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!!

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
