@PrinceNorthLæraðr ohhh
Also yes chemistry wasn't my strongest point either
1:39 AM
The fact that an oxidizing agent is the opposite of oxidation is throwing me off
Like it makes sense, I guess but it's just like seeing reduction, oxidation, reducing agent, oxidizing agent all over the place is just making my brain hurt
I don't have dyslexia but this unit is about to give me one (joking)
is it an oxidising agent because it oxidises the other thing
Yeah, something like that
Like this makes sense, but there are so many words and phrases that look very similar and its throwing me for a loop
Like an anode undergoes oxidation, so therefore it's a reducing agent @_@
Like just pick different terms
at least you get to learn about cool agent stuff
The thing being oxidized should be called the unicorn master and the thing being reduced should be called sparkle captain or something. Then I can be like "the lower the metal is in the list of half-cell potentials, the more negative the E half cell and the stronger it is as a unicorn master"
So much cooler
I might actually start calling reducing agents "unicorn master" or something to entertain myself in chemistry
maybe you can bribe a researcher to use those terms in their next paper
1:52 AM
I'll do you one better and bribe the entire international governing body of chemistry
Whoever is in charge of naming this stuff
Oxidizing agents shall be called "unicorn spymasters" and reducing agents shall be called "dragonslayers"

Q: The Year of Fire and Fear

dan_fuleaTwo old school friends, Bob and Jim, meet again after many years. It's the same old town, a bottle of wine on a small wooden table in the castle garden, where the Mathematics faculty has been hidden away, untouched by time. Their wives accompany them.

Q: NONODOKU, A new game

Xavier CastilloNonodoku is a new variant of Sudoku. In this game, the numbers in each row indicate the relative order of the values in that row, but not their exact positions. For instance, in the second row, if the numbers 3 and 2 appear, it means that 3 will be placed to the left of 2, but their exact positio...
