AI Thread Summary
Nitrogen difluoride (N2F2) exhibits geometric isomerism due to its molecular structure, which allows for cis-trans configurations. In the cis configuration, both nitrogen atoms are positioned on the same level with their fluorine atoms oriented downwards. Conversely, the trans configuration features a more stable arrangement where the nitrogen atoms are on opposite sides. This structural flexibility is key to understanding the isomerism in N2F2.

Hello, I have found this picture: http://www.webelements.com/webelements/compounds/media/N/F4N2-10036472.jpg
As you see from the structure, a cis-trans isomerism may be present; two nitrogens may be on the same level with their fluorines downwards (this is cis), or more stable one, trans configuration (as shown in the picture).
 
Thanks a lot for your help!
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
