hitler offered to let jews, gypsies, homosexuals, etc run away, but he realized that they went only as far as germany's borders and hitler had a few continents to conquer, so he just killed them instead of constantly asking them to move.

how does one name esters of organic acids that have multiple acidic functional groups (ex citric acid)? what would it be called with say, 1 of those groups "esterfied"? what about two? what about all three?

i dont know. i like the bmw m3. and hey, i think i'll be able to buy one someday

you'd be surprised; 45% H2O2 is in glowsticks. i thought they used strontium in military flares but hey i may be wrong. btw we're tied. [edit] and i average 3x as many posts as you do per day:)

humans base time on celestial motions. our time is incredibly flawed. time passes, however since everything does not happen at once from any view point. time exists, but we do not understand it yet.

dude i remember thomas from my early years! you have just made my day. grats.

phosphorous doesn't burn that brightly. it's magnesium.

sublime carbon dioxide. that simple.

the government watches you.

i still think that you should do the carbon reduction method

it will attack most things, but can be stored. hey, if pentafluoroantimonic acid can, HF can.

reducing agents? think alkali and alkaline earth metals..

humans never develope to their full potential.

dude of course i dont think theyre just ions. a nitrate group is electronegative like few others and makes a pretty SP hybrid orbital with fluorine. i would like to add that the fact that fluorine has an S as its outermost orbital makes it easier to ionize.

i aim to please

i'll be 16 in 5 days, so i'll just say 16, male, new york

well, as long as you speak of potential, i think i'll speak of potential. every sperm cell has the potential for fertilizing an egg. i, as a male, have wasted quite a bunch of sperm cells in my life. but then again, wouldn't you rather have them wasted than have me use the full potential of all my sperm cells? if i fertilized an egg cell for every sperm cell i have ever produced, the world would be swamped with humans. and i'm only 15 and 359 days, so that's saying something. personally, i do not know where life begins. sometimes i just go along with the ideals of the regressive party (refer to: http://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=regressive) on a more serious note, i am pro choice because i cannot condemn people for making their own minds up on having children. it's not like unborn children are actually developed, so i cannot call it murder.

so do i. it's reliable and good enough

yeah hippiness! i whole-heartedly agree that acceptance and tolerance is so much better than the alternative

OXIDIZE HIM! amen

ah right. forgot about resonance for a moment. good call.

the bonds in [math]CO_2[/math] are polar because there is a difference in the electronegativities of C and O. since these two polar bonds have been made and the compound is linear, there are no opposite sides holding opposite charges. the covalent radius of carbon when double bonded to oxygen is 123pm. that's close when compared to other bonds. yes, the distance between carbon and oxygen when bonded is lesser than when they are not bonded.

pulkit, i agree with you whole-heartedly. i am glad to know there is another reasonable politician here. as for the troll... *hands sayo a flask of conc peroxymonosulfuric acid* cheers!

last i checked, 3 electrons cannot be shared in a single hybrid orbital. it goes against the idea of having electron pairs in orbitals. then again, i may be mistaken. could you substantiate that thought? in polyatomics there are generally coordinate covalent bonds. this means that one atom provides both electrons required to make a bond, which is what makes ions. in the NO3 ion, the N is at +5, while 3 of the O atoms are at -2. of course this cannot happen unless one of the oxygen provides both electrons for the bond, which happens.

ay, newbie, you make far too many generalizations that are not true. please, read ann coulter's slanderous neoconservative book "slander". <font size=4> in other news i hate that book with a fiery passion.</font>
