First so that you can have some background I'd like to share an excerpt from the online lecture I'm studying. Here's a sample:
"1880-Arrhenius defines an acid as a substance that , when dissolved in water, produces an increased concentration of hydrogen ions.
1900-Naunyn combines Arrhenius'...

Hi all,
I'm having a course on computational chemistry, as part of a bachelor curriculum. We have a project that is due to 4 weeks and I'm failing to find an interesting idea for this project that has to be done using Python. It can be anything, as long as it involves chemistry and coding...

Hello,
I have a few questions about these images that I shared.
1) What does t represent? I am assuming Es is the energy of the atoms before they hybridize, and that t is either the gain or reduction of energy due to the new orbitals that are formed through bonding...

I have been looking at pocket knives, seems like all the ones with G10 handle scales have a warning about cancer. This is a very typical pocket knife.

You see the cancer warning message?
The rest of the knife is...

"My teacher had mentioned that resonance would occur here due to the presence of a positive charge if benzene is attached. However, if we consider two bonds without breaking them, there will be one pi bond. So, will there be no resonance due to it ..read more

I'm planning on working with galinstan, for one of my projects. I need a conductor that can be immersed in the galinstan, indefinitely, without being corroded.
I've learned that zirconium carbide has excellent chemical resistance, when it comes to galinstan. However, no one seems to sell it...

'noble gas' is defined as an atom with its valence shell completely filled to its capacity with electrons.
Assuming I take an arbitrary atom ( with its valence shell not necessarily completely filled yet ) and assuming I am either adding electrons to it or removing electrons from...

The mentioned coordination complex has been prepared where KCl is a significant byproduct. The salt and the complex appear to be readily soluble in the same solvents. Despite the organic ligand (PDTA), it is not soluble in polar organic solvents, at least to a degree where it can be used for...

In HClO4 Cl forms one single bond with an oxygen and three dative bonds with the other 3 oxygen atoms.
However, according to VB theory, Cl is hybridized and forms double bonds instead of dative bonds.
Then, the structural formula of the molecule never shows arrows as it would if there were...
