here’s a starter pack of 10 chemistry questions you could post in those forums to begin interacting. They’re written in beginner-to-intermediate level English, so you won’t feel lost, but they are also interesting enough to get real answers from other people.

🧪 10 Starter Chemistry Questions for Forums

🔹 General Chemistry

1. Why does table salt (NaCl) dissolve easily in water but not in oil?

2. What is the difference between a mixture and a compound in simple words?

3. Why do some metals rust while others (like gold) never rust?

🔹 Physical Chemistry

4. How does temperature affect the speed of chemical reactions?

5. What exactly is the difference between evaporation and boiling?

6. Why do gases exert pressure on the walls of a container?

🔹 Organic Chemistry

7. What makes alcohols (like ethanol) different from hydrocarbons like hexane?

8. Why do some molecules have isomers, and how does that change their properties?

🔹 Applied Chemistry

9. How does green chemistry reduce pollution in industries?

10. Why are lithium-ion batteries more powerful than older batteries?

💡 Tips for posting:

Always say “Hi, I’m learning chemistry, can someone explain this in simple terms?”

If you already tried to read something, mention it (shows effort). Example:

“I read that NaCl dissolves in water because of polarity, but I don’t understand what polarity really means. Can someone explain?”

That way, people will be more willing to help you.

👉 Do you want me to also give you a step-by-step example of how

to write a good forum post (like a model you can copy and use)?

Perhaps that would be a good way to steer the conversation, sort of give the OP something to think about.

I did have a chuckle at the bit where the AI claims that chemistry isn't limited to test tubes and beakers anymore, then proceeds to list four industries who definitely use beakers and test tubes when doing chemistry. Artificial ≠ clever.

Awesam, i think the same thing ☺️

No. And AI-generated content is not a good forum post.
