For those who haven't been frequenting meta, this post has been suggested numerous times. The intention is to collect together good questions with good answers which can be used as duplicate targets. While this is obviously a mammoth task, there is no stipulation that it is (or ever will be) exha...
In this answer on Physics Stack Exchange, the author states that conductance $G$ is related to conductivity $\sigma$ by $$G = \sigma\frac{A}{l}$$
where $A$ is the cross-sectional area perpendicular to the direction of electric current and $l$ is the length of the conductor.
How does this relate t...
Rare earth and platinum group metals are often found clustered together in the earth's crust. Mining for platinum, for instance, also yields Rhodium and Ruthenium belonging to the same group. Likewise, rare earth elements such as Neodymium, Europium and Samarium also cooccur together in the same ...
The answer to this question is actually pretty interesting, I think. @user55119 's comment that the principal chain is the cyclohexane ring is correct -- but it seems like you understand that that's what the teacher is saying, and you're asking, "why?" The best short answer, too, is imho in you...
Recently, I was learning about electrode processes and I came across the topic of "electrode potentials".
I understood that at equilibrium, a potential difference was generated at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte because of the formation of an electric double layer.
I was r...
I am a physics student, with little experience in chemistry. I am researching for a project which involves freezing and its capabilities on humans and different minerals like chalk.
I have been researching chalk for the last couple of months as part of my project. Can the cracks generated cause t...
