Tormod Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Tim wanted this group, so let's have it. No bomb recipies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Awesome, so would things such as quarks go here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Hm...wouldn't that be physics? Chemistry deals with the elements, not the subatomic particles, AFAIK. Maybe I'm wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Oh, at school, I remember the subatomic particles stuff was under the chemistry section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freethinker Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Originally posted by: AkiAwesome, so would things such as quarks go here? Of course there are quarks here. Otherwise we wouldn't have a place to put the thread! :-) But I think Quarks would fit better in Physics. IT would seem that Chemistry would deal more on a molecular level.  So perhaps to start, I understand that Chemistry is the legitmate child of Alchemy.

Tormod Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Indeed! IT was basically the search for the mythic Philosopher's Stone, which would turn lead into gold. Isaac Newton spent a lot of his time pursuing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Lou Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 yes! quarks and such should go under chemistry!look! pions atoms! being called "Pionium" http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/8/10/2/1well, although pioniums have been discovered b4, but this time scientists made a large amount of it... wow!!!pions atoms reactions (coming soon...)!! muhahahah! {pionium oxide+ sodium --> sodium peroxide + pionium}!!! wot!

Tormod Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Hm. Why is that chemistry and not physics? Just asking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Martin Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 It is my opinion that subatomic particles be discussed in the physics category. This just makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 in my opinion sub-molocular particles all belong to physics;Chemestry realy deals with the macro-world; redox-reactions; plastics, biochemestry all that stuff. Â Bo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Lou Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 come on, chemistry is suppose to deal with fundanmental particles.... it was the atomic theory that creates chemistry... (alone with alchemy ) its just that nowadays people figure out new fundanmnetal particles...positive pion + negative pion = "pionium" doesnt that sound like chemistry? also, chemistry reaction means that new substances are form, while physical reaction is about change in state.... although particles "reactions" arent like those in chemical.... but the concepts are about the same...and, nuclear chemistry is very similar to subatomic particle decay and reactions...

Tormod Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Sub-atomic reactions are not the same as chemical reactions. Chemistry is the interaction of atoms and molecules. They may ionise and swap electrons and whatnot, but turning funcamental particles into other particles is physics. But...Tim, if you *think* something fits in the chemistry category - post it here!

Aki Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Well I think the structure of the atom and stuff like that should go under Chemistry section.And then the interactions between the particles should go under Physics..  Well what does it matter anyways? We'll all be reading the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted October 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Aki, good point. But we need to distinguish between these because we are getting new group moderators for each of the groups. But until then I'll accept that if a poster thinks something fits here, it fits here unless it is obviously in the wrong category. Fair enough?

Aki Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 We can always move the posts to where they belong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Lou Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 i feel silence and cold in this chemistry category... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 lol, then let's start talking about some chemistry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
