Translation on Inorganic Chemistry ()

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the translation of an inorganic chemistry paper from Spanish to English. The translator seeks assistance due to limited English proficiency and chemistry knowledge. A key concern is the title of the paper, particularly the abbreviation "NC," which may have different meanings in English, such as "Combined Nomenclature" or "Coordination Number." The translator expresses difficulty in finding reliable parallel texts for reference. They request help in reviewing their translation, which is two pages long, and offer to reciprocate by assisting others with Spanish texts. Additionally, clarification is provided that "nombre compuesto" translates to "compound name," suggesting that the author is indicating the name of the compound.

Hi!

I am trying to translate a paper on inorganic chemistry from Spanish into English but, since I am not an English native speaker and my knowledge of chemistry is limited, I could definitely use some help in order to get everything right.

With regard to the title of the paper (NC = (E)-1-(3-phenyl-3-oxo-propen-1-yl)-3,4-dihydroxy-2-nitrobenzene), I am not quite sure if it is correct, because it has been very difficult for me to find reliable parallel texts. To begin with, I don't know if "NC" there makes any sense, it is what it's said in Spanish, but maybe in English it could refer to "Combined Nomenclature" or "Coordination Number"...

If someone didn't mind taking a look at my translation of the paper I would really appreciate it, and of course I'd be glad to return the favor in case anyone would need any help with a Spanish text or whatever. I could send it by e-mail, it's only 2 pages long and you'd only have to check if there is any mistake.

Thank you very much.

Well, "nombre compuesto" means compound name. From the context it looks like the author is saying, "the compound's name is..."
 
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...
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!!
