it seems like most of the posts in this forum get moved to hw. come on now, can't we have any good chem topics that don't have to do with hw?
It's because most people have a fairly good grasp of chemistry. It rarely boggles the mind or provokes thought until you get into the complicated parts, but when you're at that level, the internet is not where you'll find the answer.The P-manator said:Wow, how come so little?

Maybe we could have a less formal version of the journal club thread in the Mind & Brain forum ? Something like the current discussion on organosilanes, perhaps...but with the OP putting in some extra effort to introduce/summarize the topic in a paragraph or two.
Anyone interested ?
As a trial, let me kick this off. Sometime next week, I'll write up an introduction to a topic of interest or curiosity. First though, I'm going to send out PMs to people that I think might have an interest in the same field. If I get at least 5 positive responses, I'll go ahead and start up the discussion...and maybe get a mentor to sticky it.gravenewworld said:sounds good
The chem forum is a place for students to seek help and clarification on chemistry concepts and problems. Many of the questions asked may be related to homework assignments.
Chemistry can be a challenging subject for many students, and they may need extra help or guidance on their assignments. The forum provides a platform for students to ask questions and receive support from others.
Yes, as long as the questions are related to chemistry and follow the forum's guidelines, they are allowed in the chem forum. However, it is always encouraged for students to make an effort to solve the problems on their own before seeking help.
The forum is open to everyone, so the answers provided may vary in accuracy. It is always recommended to cross-check the answers and confirm their validity before using them for assignments.
If you have the knowledge and expertise to help, you can provide guidance and explanations to the best of your ability. However, do not provide direct answers or do the work for the student. It is essential to promote learning and understanding rather than just completing assignments.
