To the men on this site do you call women "baby" even if you don't have serious feelings for them?

I only call any significant others Baby, and that depends on the chemistry. But I would never use the term again.

@Elisbch Yes. Chemistry. I test partners on the electrochemical series to make sure they have more than a passing familiarity with the subject.

I find lab results the only way to be CERTAIN..LOL

@Elisbch The Wikipedia article at

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_electrode_potential_(data_page)

has a link to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_series#Comparison_with_standard_electrode_potentials which has this important note:

The following list includes the metallic elements of the first six periods. It is mostly based on tables provided by NIST.[9][10] However, not all sources give the same values: there are some differences between the precise values given by NIST and the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. In the first six periods this does not make a difference to the relative order, but in the seventh period it does, so the seventh-period elements have been excluded. (In any case, the typical oxidation states for the most accessible seventh-period elements thorium and uranium are too high to allow a direct comparison.)[11]

(Emphasis added.)

Since you might have an edition of that CRC Handbook (I have a few), I thought you might be interested in it.

Ah no..lol... I was just kidding with the lab stuff..LOL

. I'm not scientifically minded at all. Thanks anyway
