What are some liquids that can give up valence electrons when heated?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for efficient methods of electricity production in the nuclear industry, specifically focusing on the identification of liquids that can donate and accept valence electrons when heated. The original poster seeks guidance on suitable liquids for this purpose and requests relevant articles or resources. A suggestion is made to explore the concept of Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and its relation to the topic. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in terminology and the challenges faced in finding specific chemical properties related to electron transfer in liquids.

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a project to design a more efficient method of electricity production in the nuclear industry. I haven't been able to find anything online (and chemistry isn't exactly my strong suit most of the time), but I wanted to know if anyone knows of a liquid or liquids that, when heated, will give up valence electrons, and another liquid or liquids that will take in these free electrons when heated? I probably am not using the correct terms for certain things, so I apologize for that. If anyone knows of liquids like these or articles pertaining to this, I would greatly appreciate any input. Thank you guys!

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!!
