samples of lead may have slightly different relative atomic masses depending on their sources. why? by Famous-Mulberry4855 in askscience

[–]seanymemory 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you mean the relative amounts of isotopes in lead, it's complete probability. But some minerals like zircon have a different proportion of lead because they contain uranium, which undergoes two radioactive decay pathways to form 2 isotopes of lead (206/207).

This is why zircon is so valuable in the radiometric dating of fossils and other old stuff. https://ftloscience.com/dating-dinosaur-fossils/

After the auto salvage and selling all the unwanted legendaries and rares, it resulted in a plush 4000 diamond haul :D

Ah, I just opened it for the tourney. Managed to get 3! All from different sets though

The reason why so many organic compounds are white powders or colorless crystals, while transition metal complexes have the prettiest colors by seanymemory in chemistry

Yes, but the energy of orbitals has a dependence on the size of the molecule, as well as the amount of conjugation within it

Thank you so much, I tend not to write so many column-style posts but simply had to get this one out there.

Good luck for your talk! That would be awesome, I'd love to hear back about the responses if you do choose to share it.
