Since that time, the name computer science has been used for all kinds of programs that range from heavily engineering oriented to heavily math oriented. The name sticks for somewhat illogical reasons having more to do with academic politics than anything else, but that's academic life for you (see more below).

The +2 state is more common. The ion Co 2+ (aq) is pink. Other compounds of cobalt(II), which include both anhydrous Co 2+ and complex ions, are commonly blue. If an aqueous solution contains both cobalt(II) and chloride ions, the blue ion CoCl 4 2- forms, in equilibrium with the pink Co 2+ (aq) ion.t relatively low concentrations of chloride, the equilibrium lies far to the right, and the solution is pink. If there is a large concentration of excess chloride, the equilibrium tends to the left, and the solution tends to be blue. The equilibrium is sensitive to temperature as well as to concentration of solutes.
