minus-squareLiz@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoYou can get loads of pretty uranium colors in solution. I love me some chemistry, where the answer to the question “what color is it?” is preceded by “well it depends on the oxidation state…”
minus-squareLiz@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoThe answer to the question is preceded by the phrase. Yeah, it was tricky grammar but I didn’t feel like trying to come up with a more clear phrasing. Anyway, as in “Well, that depends on the oxidation state. Aqueous +2 would give you…”
