AI Thread Summary
Phosphorus ions in the form of P^3- cannot exist in solution, as they are part of phosphide compounds and are highly unstable in aqueous environments. For effective electromigration of phosphorus towards a surface, it is essential to have phosphorus in a more elemental state rather than as ions. The discussion highlights the challenges of engineering a method to attract and diffuse phosphorus atoms into a material surface, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of chemistry to achieve this goal.

Hi there,

I would like to know if it possible at all to have phosphorous ions in solution ie P^3- so that I can electromigrate them towards a surface. As I currently understand, this ion is under the phosphide compounds group, and is the least electronegative. For any P electromigration towards the surface to take place I currently understand that it has to be in as elemental as possible ie P^3.

My aim is to attract phosphorous atoms towards a surface and to then diffuse them into the material providing the surface using other means.

I am not very experienced with chemistry and am not quite sure how engineer this.

Thankyou,
Louis

Nope.
 

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!!
