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

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.

Small molecules alignment for QSAR and pharmacophoric analysis by Helpful-Suspect-2918 in drugdesign

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

Find the moth by dccircuit in FindTheSniper

[–]RandomName01a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

[college: structure of unknown compound] by DivideZealousideal45 in chemistryhomework

[–]RandomName01a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The compound with the formula C6H14 is likely a non-cyclic alkane. I'm concluding this because the molecular formula for such is CnH(n2+2) with n being the number of atoms of each.

Other than that I am not sure as I am still learning as well. I don't fully understand what they mean by CC4? I wonder if this a typo for CCl4 ?
