AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the absence of a dedicated chemistry forum, with participants expressing interest in establishing a chemistry section. One user shares a link to an existing physics forum, suggesting that chemistry lacks the same appeal. There is a debate on the value of different sciences, with one participant asserting that physics is the superior science, while another claims that math is the ultimate foundation for all scientific disciplines, arguing that other sciences can limit creativity and understanding.

Why doesn't this place have a chemistry forum?
Can there be a chemistry section? That would be so cool.

Chemistry Sucks anyway, physics is the 1 true science!
 
Actually, math in my opinion is the only true science. It is with math that you can create anything. Any other science limits the mind.
 

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!!

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...
