I FEEL SOOO ACCOMPLISHED.

yes i am still noob in reading html, but at least it didn't look THAT greek-ish to me.

i always wanted some non-super-emo blogskin, so i thought this would do well.

comments very much appreciated, thanks!

anyway back to yesterday's disastrous chem pract.

i dunno how someone can screw up in as many ways as me.

1 - i got an 84% of O in KClOx (cause i stupidly multiplied by 2)

2 - i decided it was NOT realistic. so i guessed that Cl was +5 oxidation state. So when i named the compound, i named it POTASSIUM (V)CHLORATE. who freaking puts the oxidation state in front of the species?

3 - and while guessing the chemical formula i was thinking +5 +5 (Cl's oxidation state) so i put formula as KClO5.

and the one that takes the cake:

4 - i was despo. so i decided to continue from where i left off from 1. i did my calculations, and got
KClO22.

repeat:
KClO22.

so i just discovered something which has an oxidation state of +41.
life is sooooooo fun.
