AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the oxidation of dimethyl ether (DME) and the desire to develop a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation for a research project. The participant expresses a lack of foundational knowledge in chemistry and seeks guidance on where to begin, particularly in quantum chemistry. They mention the challenge of accessing resources, as most available materials are in Japanese. A recommended resource is a book on computational chemistry by Errol Lewars, which is acknowledged as helpful for gaining the necessary understanding to start the MD simulation. The emphasis is on finding appropriate literature and introductory materials to build a solid foundation in the subject.

PLEASEE HELP! dimthyl ether, MD.

i have a one year program and i have to research on the oxidation of dimethyl ether(DME). my professor has given me the option to work with him on the theoritical nature of the reaction, or to build up a molecular dynamic simulation from scratch. I really want to build the MD simulation. The only problem is that i have no idea where to start from..what sort of books i should be reading? where do i get the basic introductory knowledge for basic quantum chemistry etc. I am living in Japan and all my professors work and books are in Japanese.. so if someone could help me out a bit i would reallly really appreciate it alot.
I don't have much background in chemistry, and have studied mechanical engineering

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!!
