h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Any people round here who do Chemistry. I need help. Say "yay" if you are, "nay" if not.

Any Chemists....

nayish

don't do it directly but I cover a bit in modules...

I *did* chemistry A level...might be able to help in some topics...if not it might be worth asking hoovooloo or some of the other chemists on the salt PR thread: F48874?thread=276217 ?

Aaaargh. I have since forgotten what I wanted to ask!!!!

Perhaps you've found it?

hi

am doing chemisrty finals at the moment so might be able to help, though on the basis of what i knew for todays exam probably not,

well here if you remember

m

This group is desperately short of chemists, so any help would be much aprreciated. Hope your exam was alright...

aha!!!! I have remembered the problem. Never mind though, I asked my chemistry teacher the other day. It was just a gap in my otherwise impecable Chemistry knowledge.

In case anyopne cares the problem was I wasn't sure about Lead, it has a variable valency so is it a transition metal? My chemistry teacher said "No" which wasn't very helpful. Oh well. I don't actually need to know for my exam, I just don't like not knowing things about Chemistry.

We now have a chemistry bader, so if you still want to know, you could ask her.

Hmm, a badger who knows chemistry. A rare woodland sight!

Yes, a bit of a rarity

Who is this chemical badger?

Your thing on revision support group says your exams finish on May 28. That is today. Congratulations!!! I still have 3 weeks left.

Yes, consequently quite , but hey

3 weeks?

Can't type well, think is ... Is link up on main page. Probably spelt wrong, but mostlAemer, but the A and e are joined together in way which I can't type on my keyboardy right.

did I say qwuitre drunk? soory, meant vdey drunk. Never mind.

You didn't say drunk at all, you said . That being the same though it doesn't really matter. With my quick maths I have just calculated that you posted that post at 1 in the morning. Why were you on H2G2 at 1 in the morning?!?

Anyway, thanks for the garbled message, at least I know who is the chemistry badger now.

Good Luck with the hangover!!!

Why? Well... I'd got back from the pub (the third one I think) at that point, and was at the drinking soft drink stage. Not sure exactly when I got back, or when I went to bed. Also not sure why I slept at the other end of the bed but not sure there was a reason...

More questionable is why I got up at 7.

No , not sure how, but not complaining

I think that message was quite good considering, there was even some ungarbled stuff in there.

I noticed you were online but thought you may have drifted off in front of the computer last night after finishing the last message.

Strangely I woke up at the wrong end of the bed even though I haven't had a drink for about 2 months (alcohol I mean, soft drinks have been plenty over the last two months otherwise I would be dead)

I've just noticed how this is a thread about Chemists yet this has no relevance to chemistry at all. Such is the way of h2g2 it seems.

I presiume your drunken rambling refered to Aendr the mad hatter. I had guessed it was her since she was the newest but I checked out her page and found no reference to it so I asked you, what with you being a friendly ACE.

Yes, she's who I meant. She only volunteered yesterday (or was it the day before?) so hasn't done much yet.

I don't actually drink much, just on certain occasions, such as end of exams. Though I don't often turn down a drink when given to me.. As for the rambling, that is my normal way of things. I just normally manage to type it better. Anyway, I judge by the that you joined the thingites. Consequently, you should be able to follow the rambling without too much difficulty.

Yes true, I am a thingite. Also, I ramble a lot sometimes o have the gift of being able to follow it.

I wasn't calling you an alcoholic, there'll probably be a few parties after my exams and I won't turn down a drink.



I take it you are not a thingite
