AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the topic of quantum mechanics, specifically regarding particles in one-dimensional boxes, as covered in a spectroscopy course. To find relevant information, searching for "quantum chemistry" is recommended, as it encompasses the principles of quantum mechanics applied to chemical systems. The concept of particles in a box is a fundamental model in quantum mechanics that illustrates key principles, and resources like Wikipedia can provide foundational knowledge on this topic.

The 2nd chapter in my spectroscopy course is titled quantum mechanics and at the end of it it goes on about particles in 1 dimensional boxes. What would I google to find info on this kinda thing? Quantum chemistry?

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!!
