Research paper citation question.

AI Thread Summary
The appropriate citation style for an academic paper in biochemistry depends on the specific journal to which the manuscript is being submitted. Authors should consult the "for authors" section on the journal's website for detailed guidelines. Utilizing reference management software like Endnote can facilitate quick formatting of citations. For class assignments, it's advisable to check with a teaching assistant or professor. In the context of a competition, the American Chemical Society (ACS) citation style is a recommended choice.

Its for a competition, I think I'm going to use ACS

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!!
