@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I think we both are trying to say things with similar motive, to close less and answer more. There's one point, though, that I hope you have thought out well:
" I also personally believe that re-explaining a topic explained in countless textbooks does not add anything other than a statistical data point to the site."
nvm I'll comment there itself

@GaurangTandon It's just saying you're closer to the preservation extreme of the spectrum
Which isn't a bad thing

I think chat would have been a better place for that, but I didn’t want to put them through the bureaucracy of “gEt 20 ReP fIrSt”
 
M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

Wait, didn't you say on the original question that they're readily available and free to download?
@orthocresol I think you can grant them write permission without 20 rep.

andselisk did. Sometimes, supporting information is open access. In this case it wasn’t.

Personally, most of this academic pay firewall seemed like B.S. to me
But I'm not still well-versed with academia anyway
I might find so much B.S. it'd sound legit.

There’s enough BS in academia to last a lifetime

That is some high-grade B.S.! Can I burn it as coal?
 
orthocresol

Yes. That would put me out of a job, but also obviate my need for a job.

You burn bullshit for a living?

Close enough.

Q: do covalent bonds have ions?

Luke KongDo covalent compounds have ions? There is a question in my textbook: Ions are particles that exist a) only in water solutions b) in some crystals c) in polar covalent compounds d) in covalent compounds that are not polar I chose C, but B is the correct answer... isn't HCl a counter-exma...

These stupid examiners -___-
I feel bad for the OP
I VTC'd as unclear. I guess. We can't answer your question because it's not answerable because it's idiotic.

Tbf, I probably shouldn't have posted that, so I was probably wrong.

A: Which chemicals apply on copper metal it attract rice

Rk003There are no chemicals to attract rice to copper

 
M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ
M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ
Eeesh.
Proof that if you leave crap stay open, it'll attract more crap.
So I guess we just discovered what chemical attracts crap.

Q: How to deal constructively with questions that have a severe problem in grammar/vocabulary

KarlMany a question asked here is barely understandable, and it seems we're very reluctant to point this out, obviously because it's hard to do so in a polite and helpful manner, without knowing about the background of an OP. Such questions then usually get ignored or closed as "unclear", which is n...

This is a bit like a chameleon question. Since there were no answers; however, it doesn't matter.

So, copper metal has a brown color, indicating that it reflects red light and absorbs green and blue light. Copper compounds, on the other hand, tend to reflect green and blue and absorb red.
Is there an explanation for why copper compounds tend to reflect the same frequencies that copper metal absorbs? Or is it pretty much a coincidence?

@TannerSwett Coincidence AFAIK. Of course, there is an explanation for each
Hmm, what was I here to do again?
Oh, right.
I agree with you. — Gaurang Tandon 5 hours ago

Done. I feel fulfilled.

I believe we can discuss this more effectively if you come to chat. — M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ 3 mins ago

Eager anticipation.
There's so many things to talk about in that answer that I could another answer about it.

That's sort of the problem with these discussions

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ
@orthocresol Now I can write an answer about that remark
We could hold a chat event and discuss it to death
But you'd realize chat can get pretty messy.
 
orthocresol
orthocresol
Yes, very much so.
