There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

ex. How do I change oil
ex. How to tie shoes
ex. Can you cry underwater?

Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

What would CaCl (Calcium Chloride) be? Is that possible? Is that a thing? Is calcium chloride a thing? (lemmy.world)

~~not sure why you crossed of “2” there? the formula in the wiki page does have 2 for calcium chloride.~~

edit 1: but, apparently there does exist calcium monochloride

edit 2: crossed off comment, apparently my app shows the “2” being crossed off, but it’s technically a subscript.

Markup mishap, probably. They wanted subscript, which doesn't work on all clients, including mine.

Seems to be a problem with your client/frontend. It's not crossed of, it's a subscript.

yes, you’re right. that’s a bit odd.
