锘? Science experiments in chemistry reveals the oddest fact
-- molecules have down-right silly names. One doesn't usually think of chemistry
topics as humorous but one look at these molecule names and you'll change your
thinking on that. Try some of these names for Chemistry Science chuckles. One
molecule is called "arsole". It is the arsenic equivalent of pyrole

Shipping , and is occasionally seen as a side group in the form of
organic arsolyls. Another molecule is called "Adamantane". This often brings
laughter as Adam Ant was an English pop star in the early 1980's famous for his
silly songs and strange make up. How did they ever think of this one.
"Bastardane" is a close relative of "Adamantane". It's proper name is
"ethano-bridged noradamante". It was a variation of the standard structure and
became know as the unwanted child. I have to imagine that the lineage is
somewhat in doubt. Another doozy is "Buckminster Fullerene". This soccer
ball-shaped molecule won a Nobel prize for Chemistry in 1996. It is of course,
named after the architect Buckminster Fuller, who designed the geodesic dome. It
is sometimes referred to as "Bucky Ball", and is also known as "Footballene".
Why was this so special as to win a Nobel prize, I do not know. "Megaphone" gets
its name from being both a constituent of "niba Megaphylla" and a ketone. This
one shouts loudly in order to be heard. "Munchnones" could be the favorite of
the Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz, but they are ring structures in which the
charges are delocalized. We represent the ring structure guild, the ring
structure guild, the ring structure guild. "Cummingtonite" got its name from
where it was found, Cummington, Mass. For those who want to know
Wholesale
Jerseys , it is a magnesium iron silicate hydroxide. In case I
cannot meet you in the afternoon, I am coming tonight. "Putrescine" originates
in putrefying and rotting flesh, and is the smell of death. It is usually
associated with "cadaverine" named after the cadavers that give rise to the
rotting flesh. "Dickite" discovered by a geologist whose last name was "Dick" is
a clay like mineral and is used in ceramics and as paint filler. "Moronic" acid
is of interest to people studying archaeological relics, shipwrecks and ancient
Egyptian jars. Ask me why it is called "Moronic" acid and I cannot answer
hopefully not making me a moron. The Fuka region of Southern Japan has given
birth to "Fukalite", which is a form of calcium silico-carbonate. A plant
hormone which causes injured cells to divide and help repair the trauma has been
named "traumatic acid". Ah, chemistry and science, what a joy. It would
certainly be traumatic if these cells could not repair themselves. "Arabitel"
has nothing to do with rabbits; it's an organic alcohol that is a constituent of
wine. An alcohol derived from sugar is named "fucitel", and comes from a North
Atlantic seaweed. When sailing the ocean, perhaps one can troll a fishing line
and pick up some "fucitel" "Orotic Acid" is often misspelled and is called
"Erotic Acid". Another name for this acid is vitamin B13. A chemistry science
fair project would be a good venue for a continued search into these unusually
named molecules. This one could sound like a laxative, but it is really a type
of mica found in Japan and Sweden. It is called "Kinoshitalite" and is green and
vitreous and hard as fingernails. It comes from the Japanese meaning under the
tree. "Vomicine" is a poisonous molecule that gets its name from a nut which is
the seed of a tree found in the East Indies. These seeds are sometimes called
quaker buttons and are a source of strychnine. "Bastadin-5" is just one of a
number of bastadins which are molecules isolated from a marine sponge. They
possess anti bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. "Skatole" comes from
skatalogical

Cheap , meaning concerning fecal material. Its proper name is
3-methylindole, but it gets its trivial name from the fact that it is a
component of feces. It is also found in coal tar and beet. Chemistry science
fair projects could emanate from this one. "Sexithiophene" is a 'sexi' molecule
- which means it has 6 sub-units, in this case of thiophene rings. Because of
its conjugated system of double bonds, this organic molecule conducts
electricity quite well. As a result, it is one of a number of similar molecules
being studied for possible uses in organic polymer electronics. Incidentally,
the Latin for 5 sub-units is quinque (pronounced 'kinky'), so by adding one
sub-unit a quinque molecule becomes sexi. "Bis(pinacolato) diboron" isn't the
active ingredient in a root beer float. Rather it is a versatile reagent for the
preparation of boronic esters from halides, the diboration of olefins, and
solid-phase Suzuki coupling. A proper root beer float consists of root beer and
ice cream. If you're lucky it will be served in a big glass. "Lucifer Yellow" is
a food coloring used especially in hot sauces, like salsa pickle. It is also
used in plant microscopy anatomy studies

China , because it fluoresces under ultraviolet light and stains
certain regions between plant cells. "Crapinon" is used therapeutically as an
anticholinergic. These are drugs which dry secretions, increase heart rate, and
decrease lung constriction. The are also constipating, ergo "crappy-non" is
appropriate. Author's Resource Box Mort Barish is co-founder of Terimore
