Nucleophile
a: Describing a nucleophile ~
b: Describing a ball
What: "Describing a nucleophile is like describing a ball, but the question about what is substitution is like what is playing ball. I prefer to discuss nucleophiles after showing examples (including the bond making and breaking processes or mechanism) of substitution reactions. Then the nucleophile is the group that donated electrons in forming a bond. If you were accustomed to substitution reactions, then you would intuitively what a nucleophile was. What you would learn would be the term nucleophile. "

Statistical Torque?
a: Sample size ~
b: a lever
What: "Not unique to the Chi square, sample size is like a lever. Long enough lever and you can flip over a Mack truck. Does that mean the truck is unstable? With a large enough sample size you can prove differences in anything. That is why you should have been taught to look for practical significance if you see statistical significance."
