Chemicals and chemistry

Putting cost of the compounds per 100g will be useful for knowing it's worth and whether it's needed for a chemistry lab. There are variety of reagents ranging from commercial to L.R.. So I'm expecting Wikipedia team to put it asking with other properties of chemicals. Shivaramsenthil (talk) 13:13, 17 November 2023 (UTC) Shivaramsenthil (talk) 13:16, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of another alpha particle

"Since addition of another alpha particle, resulting in ⁶⁰Zn, requires a great deal more energy": This needs clarification as the process is still exothermic. Should it be that the activation Energy is high? 14.52.231.91 (talk) 00:51, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The text is clarified. Beyond ⁵⁶Ni, photodisintegration becomes important, and it obstructs the alpha process. Nucleus hydro elemon (talk) 13:13, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
