    Matter States
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the exploration of the varying chemical states of matter, particularly how substances like nitrogen can exist as both a gas and a liquid at room temperature. The original poster expresses a desire to understand how all matter might have varying states and the potential influence of additional dimensions on these states. However, the forum emphasizes that it does not support speculative science or personal theories, focusing instead on assisting with mainstream scientific understanding and homework help. Participants are encouraged to engage with established scientific concepts and seek clarification on specific topics rather than pursuing speculative discussions.

Forgive me as I have no formal secondary education so my actual knowledge of terms and what not is limited but I am working on a theory that has me wanting to explore the varying chemical states of matter and what defines them. For example, how Nitrogen can be both a gas and a liquid in room temperature, so does all matter have varying states and how would this be effected by another dimension of sorts? I am not sure if I expressed that correctly, but if you get what I am reaching at let me know!

Thanks guys!

Welcome to PF!

First off PF doesn't dwell on speculative science or personal theories so this thread is bound to be shutdown shortly.

We are here to help students overcome problems with homework and understanding something in mainstream science. Speculative discussion distracts from that mission and is actively discouraged here.

My suggestion is to read more about current science of matter states and ask questions about things you don't understand and we can go from there.
 

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!!
