the "ask crazychemgirl a question" thread

I've heard that..

Hey Chem Girl.....New to the thread but wanted to know why is gold is a better conductor than copper

it has to do with it's position on the periodic table and its electrons

I'm sure google knows.. but I can't reveal without revealing my location

So you are saying you get you answers from Google?

 

[Jakevillines]

Where are these attached photos of you that your profile says exist?

lol no .. but directions are best left to google especially since if I were to give directions we'd have to be together and I'm a terrible person for giving directions when I don't know where I am and then we'd end up driving in circles and probably somehow end up in Mexico or Alaska... neither of which is San Jose

they might have been removed... I'll have to check

But we'd be together? On a trip? Doesn't sound so bad.

that IS true..... road trip?

Will you be in charge?

ok ... so what I meant was that I won't post a full picture of myself ... it would be something like this..

unlikely

Actually...

I assumed and was wrong. Silver is actually the best metallic conductor.

Copper is a better electrical conductor than gold.

Gold is used on connectors because of it's anti-tarnishing properties.

hmmmm... it should be better based on the fact that it's larger and therefore the electrons on the outer shell aren't held as closely to the atom...

fuck it's been too fucking long since school... lmao

 

[Spins]

Science!

 

[heathergives]

Science!

When I'm dancing close to her
(Blinding me with science) - science!
I can smell the chemicals
(Blinding me with science) - science!)
"Ssss-science!"

Free electrons. Set them free!

How about some plasma?

Photons, now...are they a wave or particle?

Thanks. You are beautiful

Has Arthur Hailey's fiction stood the test of time?

 

[Not Normal]

it has to do with it's position on the periodic table and its electrons

So, if Copper had slipped the Maitre 'D a sawbuck for a better table it would conduct electricity better?

 

[crazychemgirl]

Omg I’m too tired for this conversation.

This conversation is best ...conversed...with a well worked brain.

My brain needs a vacation... along with my body.. and copious amounts of alcohol.

Sounds like a vacay is in order.

Do you like a nice massage?
