kliapatra replied to your post “Hey, you're a big sciencey guy, right? I have a question. On the periodic table you get copper and zinc. Why is it when you move from left to right, the only change in electron is of the previous S orbital and not the last D orbital? (i.e. Copper[Ni] 4s1 3d10...But Zinc ends in 4s2 3d10 right next to it) Sorry if this is a dumb question, dude. I've never taken a chemistry class before.”

A half-filled shell is more stable than a shell that's not half-filled or filled (3d9 is neither half-filled nor filled, whereas 4s1 is half-filled).

While this is usually true, I actually did have a GPA requirement for my last job (3.0 or higher), their reasoning being that they had trouble with people with lower GPAs following directions.

I guess it depends on the employer. Thanks for the info.

kliapatra replied to your post “Dear shychemist, since I see your anon on women recieved much attention, I was wondering, whether you would be willing to make a photo page, where all the science side of tumblr could post/submit their selfies, so that the people could just show, that they are eoing science? Since you have like a million known blogs, i bet this would look amazing :) what do you think?”

How do you know you don’t have any cavities if you haven’t been in a few years? I was pretty sure I didn’t last time and I still had two. :(

I've had a couple cavities before. Your teeth can get sensitive and painful.

I guess it depends on how bad they are, though.

In the places I've gone in the US, our "passing' is 65%, but let's also not forget that curving and grade inflation is pretty prevalent here. I'm pretty sure I "passed" at least one class with like 50% (which got curved up to a B-).

Curving isn't very common here, unless like every single student fails the test. XD

Our grade system is much less harsh than in the US from what I've seen.

F = 0-49%

C- = 50-59%

C = 60-66%

C+ = 67-72%

B = 73-85%

A = 86-100%

What if anons secretly really like you and want you to have more followers so they send you stupid messages so that they'll get reblogged and give you attention?!
