The Periodic Table

Skunks are famous for its bad smell. Is there any chemicals responsible for this nasty smell? My rough guess is thiols, which is also smelly chemical.

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M you have to... you promised

Can we officially add those tags? :D

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@PH13 Do it. And raise something on meta. I'm close to my tag badge.

Martin - マーチン

which tag?

After you immortals, I'm gonna be the fourth to earn it.

Martin - マーチン

ohhh.. I thought you were referring to tag creation... :D

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Oh.

There aren't any badges for it, are there?

Martin - マーチン

1:38 PM

Yeas they are: chemistry.stackexchange.com/help/badges/11/taxonomist

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Nah, that's for creating something that's gonna be used by 50 Qs. If @PH13 does it, he'll get the badge, not me.

Martin - マーチン

I know... whatever...

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

FTW, I proudly represent my creations: carbon-allotropes and smell.

Martin - マーチン

*confused*

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M haha...

carbon-allotropes has 39 and allotropes just 7

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@Martin-マーチン I need to retag 46 questions and add smell . . . Cracks knuckles

Martin - マーチン

1:46 PM

well... have fun with that

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

1:58 PM

@Martin maybe I should go and edit some tag descriptions.

My newest tag wiki rocks.

Martin - マーチン

2:21 PM

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M that's always something you can consider :D

I stopped doing it... too much work, too few gains and occasionally you get something like that...

> The tag is too long. It shouldn't be more than 4 or 5 lines. You don't need to explain what the tag is, just give people an idea.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Really?!

I've seen very long tag wikis on SO.

Martin - マーチン

well that's how they are supposed to be

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

I'll retag stuff instead.

@Mart four flags comin' in.

Martin - マーチン

At least some of the tags should have a bit more explanation...

> What are Tag Wikis?

The tag wiki excerpt is a brief plain text introduction to the topic that the tag represents. It is shown at the top of tag question lists, and as a tooltip wherever the tag appears. Complete this first!

The full tag wiki is a detailed introduction to the topic, suitable as a destination for those curious about it:

► what questions should have this tag?

► some basic definitions

► brief introduction to the subject

► important links for learning more

► one reasonably sized page

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

I'm hard pressed finding those @Mart.

Martin - マーチン

2:34 PM

what do you mean?

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

I can't find tags with bad wikis.

Martin - マーチン

well, find some without wikis...

Q: If I touch an object, am I touching the atoms on its surface?

If I hit an object with a pen for example, does the pen touch the atoms on the surface of the object? Won't it damage the atoms? If I can't touch it, then where does the sound come from?

Won't it damage the atoms?

Click it, and then edit. You're good to go!

ron

For me that just shows a permalink or flag option

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

ron

@santiago I wonder who the other upvoter was?

santiago

ron

i suspect that since he started using @inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M, he now has to cast a downvote in order to upvote

santiago

lol

ron

you mean he's not the sweet kid he comes across as?

santiago

8:16 PM

LOL I say nothing (he'll beat me)

santiago

ron

santiago

part of the lol-chemistry and indirectly related to cat-chemisty

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Not really. I'm really complicated.

hi @Mithoron

8:24 PM

@Mithoron do you know Jaroslav Kotowski on chem SE?

Mithoron

MAR gone to sleep earlier 8)

@ron I think I saw this nick but don't know him

ron

@Mithoron IIRC you're in Poland. My mother's maiden name was Kotowski and she was from outside Warsaw. Is Kotowski a common polish name?

Mithoron

@ron Not common.

ron

Do you know, does it translate into cat's eye?

Mithoron

Checked and the user says he's in Czech, there might be more common

ron

8:33 PM

Maybe someday I'll set up a chat with him

@santiago @Mithoron Time to get back to win 10, see you later!

santiago

homework dump chemistry.stackexchange.com/q/34678/15489

Mithoron

More like cat person, kot=cat and (ow)ski makes it standard surname type

santiago

@ron catch ya later!

ron

Yikes cat person, sounds spooky!

@santiago yes, bad question, didn't even take the time to search the old Q&A, $\ce{SF6}$ was answered already

santiago

yup, damn vampires

ron

8:38 PM

Later guys

Mithoron

it's very not spooky - just typical surname. There are lots of such endings are they aren't really translatable.

Bye!
