Persistence Glowness of Platinum metal after heating

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the phenomenon of persistent glow in platinum metal after it is removed from a flame. When platinum wire is heated in a Bunsen burner, it emits light due to incandescence, a process where the metal's temperature increases, causing it to glow. The persistent glow occurs because platinum retains heat effectively, allowing it to continue emitting light for a short period even after the heat source is removed. This property is attributed to platinum's high melting point and thermal conductivity, which enable it to maintain elevated temperatures longer than many other metals. The discussion emphasizes the scientific principles behind this behavior, focusing on the thermal properties of platinum and the mechanics of incandescence.

Please elaborate - your question as posted doesn't make much sense.
 
I want to say " A platinum wire is heated in Bunsen burner and it is found to glow after removing the Platinum wire from the flame. Why?"
 
First of all - WHY does it glow?
 

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!!
