@M.A.R. Sure. But maybe a pseudoscientific website like scientificamerican on a page with a focus on this very equation could try a little bit more.

The other replies, "No, I lost an electron!"

Yup, six rude/abusive or spam flags on a post will delete it, bypassing any need for moderator intervention. Very useful when we are not paying attention to main site ;)

For those with biochemistry interests: the Synthetic Biology Area51 proposal is now in the commitment phase. Most of the community coming in are from outside of StackExchange, so we particularly want to invite experienced StackExchange folks to commit and be able to help show the newly-arriving experts the ropes!
If you have any interest in this area, please come and commit!

Many legends speak of Ivan Neretin's fabled visit, from the days of yore. Some say the boorishness of this chat room turned him off, other say he ventured out to other chat rooms in search of more challenging quests, and yet others say he met a most ignominious end at the hands of a room troll.
But all are unanimous in their belief that the ---King--- User Ivan, who (subtly) challenged the tyranny of Modkind , who scored over a hundred upvotes on an answer, and who cast his vote thousands of times, will one day return to vanquish what ails Chem.SE most!

It makes me slightly sad to write this, but after having been a moderator for more than five years, I will be stepping down later this month.

To those who flag comment chains to be moved to chat: We're only doing that in extreme cases with ongoing conversations. There is absolutely no point retaining something in another place, where it will get even less attention. If it is not worth retaining on the site, it is not worth retaining in chat if the conversation has died down already. I usually just purge the entire chain. So please, make double dead sure whether it is needed or not, and only flag of it's got to go.

@gateprep Hi! Well, I'd be the culprit of saying you can ask whatever you want, but please stop. This is getting really annoying. Even asking in a public informal chatroom has etiquette, and you're not doing very well with that. Please don't ping any more people in the future.

@Abcd just because a question is popular does not mean it should be immune to closure. In this case I fully agree with the closure, we cannot have one question discussing 10 steps in a synthesis.

Hi! I'm the (for now) unofficial bot of ChemistrySE's main chatroom. Here are the useful commands I provide : (don't add the brackets)
* img/[molecule's name] -> I will try and upload an image corresponding to your molecule. You can give its name, formula, SMILES, or any common identifier. When using complex InChI, use img/InChI=1/[molecule's name]
* changelog -> shows the changelog
* help -> displays this message
* wiki/[article] -> returns a link to wikiedia's page n <article> if I can find it

From a rudimentary analysis of the pattern of keys pressed, I think "grmpi g" was meant to be "helping". However, it may also have been a Pokemon reference, I am not sure.
