"Protons define the element, its chemistry..." Um, isn't the chemistry of an element defined by its electronic structure? At first I thought you were arguing that protons don't define the element... Also, I never decided which element I was going to be for Halloween... Hmmm... Einsteinium might be easy if you didn't put the right amount of electrons on dressed like Einstein under your orbitals... |

Your professors were probably afraid of your galactic genius and did everything they could (behind the scenes) to thwart your hedginess. Hedgie loves to read. |

Of course they don't. The atomic number does. , Are you messing with me? I suck at chemistry but I thoughts protons = atomic number. My brain has gone into full bore dissertation rot. Would you believe I had to look up the units of energy today on Wikipedia? |

Moi? You are always so straightforward and serious that I know I should never doubt you. |

I figure I'm already down on the county's list for exposure to physics (he loves magnets) and botany (oh, what a great toy leaves are) so why not chemistry? |
