Hello and welcome!

This side blog is dedicated to my love of chemistry!

Askbox [OPEN]

Can:

• Ask for facts

• Ramble about chemistry

• Can be about things unrelated to chemistry

Please don't:

• Be mean

• Be disrespectful

Tags:

#chem rant — talking about chemistry

Scientists occasionally invent alternative periodic table layouts, which is usually a sign that they don't have enough enrichment in their enclosures.

The Aperiodic Table of the Elements

[Rectangles showing the atomic symbols and atomic numbers from H 1 through Og 118 are arranged in a serpentine chain. The color of each rectangle matches the the pattern of a standard periodic table. For example, the noble elements all have a red background.]

ice is just water going through a hard time

[theredreckoningofficial]

well ye thats why the molecules hug each other and stay that way so they don't feel alone

they usually just push past eachother

so them holding eachother is very important for a solid foundation

Sulfuric acid is H2SO4

It is not that

That's trihydrogen sulfide (I think, not too sure about the prefix)

Chemical Formulas [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[Cueball is holding a pointer and gesturing towards a whiteboard that shows the chemical formulas HCOOH and CH₃COOH. Below these, respectively, are classic diagramatic representations of formic/methanoic acid [with an apparently accidental doubled bond between the carbon and the hydroxy group] and acetic/ethanoic acid; being, in turn, a single- and double-carbon chain molecule with a double-bonded oxygen (carbonyl group) plus an oxygen-hydrogen (hydroxy) upon one carbon of each, to form the full carboxyl grouping, and hydrogens completing all other expected bonds.] Cueball: The two simplest carboxylic acids are hakoo and chuckoo. Emphatic off-panel voice: No!! [Caption below the panel:] How to annoy chemists

If you are a person who sees colorful objects and thinks "I want to eat that right now," being a chemist is gonna hurt

I forget if I showed the beautiful Tyrian purple that they made in the synthesis chemistry lab that I collaborated with at the art museum. They’ve been synthesizing mostly blue pigments and dyes from throughout history. This was my first time seeing Tyrian purple in person and I was so excited!

Historically it was made from murex snails and was hugely expensive and used by royalty, but chemically it’s similar to indigo so the class was able to create it in the lab without snails.
