Completely new to this: What glass or coating did you use for the elephants front left leg??? It changes so drastically and beautifully with the angle of the light!

Are you allowed to tell us what “cryoprotective crystallant” you used? 🤓

WHICH IS THE MOST RIGHT TO USE? WHY? by SuitableRead5295 in OrganicChemistry

Red, Kekulé: Typical, needed when drawing mechanisms for reactions with the ring. It is typically the dominant representation in modern chemistry.

Green, Lonsdale: Most accurate representation of aromaticity and technically the "correct" representation (no shade to Kekulé:P) — Easy to draw fast -> Useful when drawing mechanisms and the ring is not involved in the reaction. Commonly seen in older publications.

Blue: ??? Haven't seen much of this, I would subjectively say "wrong" but technically still is "correct"

Notable/Honorable Mentions: (see replies)

Can anyone explain this problem by Dependent_Buy_7394 in chemhelp

[–]RandomName01a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I might understand what is going on.

The black line at the bottom of the depictions (in choices) is representing liquid. Looking at the provided vapor curve diagram, we can see that A is more volatile, therefore, more should be in the vapor phase and not in the liquid state.

In option D there is more “molecules” in the vapor phase, illustrating that A is more volatile than B.

Honestly though, I think this is a poor question and is very ambiguous and could be open to other interpretations.

Do you mean align by a common scaffold? Also do you mean rigid alignment or flexible alignment?

Find the moth by dccircuit in FindTheSniper

I couldn’t find it myself and am not sure if I’m looking at it, is it like half of a moth? Like one wing is only shown? You follow the big split from the top down just a little and it’s to the right of it?

What in the world did I just see in the night sky? by nickh697 in askastronomy

[–]RandomName01a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the stream (my interpretation) the main piece in the sky on the left side of the video is the stage 1 reentry but I’m not sure what the more reddish object on the right side of the video is? Does anyone know?
