Umm, let's change the subject, shall we?

Did you see the cool link-back-to-own-comment I did?

M.A.R.

@Lawrence Yeah let's talk about @Dam's sock puppets

Lawrence

@Lawrence Picked it up from Mitch at ELU.

Damkerng T.

@M.A.R. My puppet is cute. :D

@Lawrence LOL

M.A.R.

BTW being a sock puppet or having one isn't illegal, doing things one person can't do is.

Welcome to ELL's chat room @Lawrence! Happy chatting!

Lawrence

@DamkerngT. and @Ellbot Hello!

Damkerng T.

(^_^)

@M.A.R. I tried searching for the previous discussion on this. It was on EL&U's chat.

M.A.R.

I'm bored @Dam. Make a command so we can play with the bot.

@Lawrence A lot of pro mods have socks so they test stuff

A lot of pro users have socks too

You were pro in the beginning

Damkerng T.

@M.A.R. I'll see what I can do. But don't expect anything soon. :D

Lawrence

@M.A.R. Yeah, I found myself spending way too much time on SE, then got disillusioned over some interactions relating to someone's suspension.

M.A.R.

20:19

BTW which of you two @Lawr @Dam can guess my new molecule?

Damkerng T.

I know it's not water. :D

M.A.R.

Tip: Google reverse search thinks it's an auto part

Lawrence

Hello @Ellbot. I noticed the 'bot' in your name. Since we're talking about sock puppets, are you one of @DamkerngT.'s sock puppets?

M.A.R.

@DamkerngT. That's progress! Go on

@Lawrence Dam controls it so technically yeah

Lawrence

@M.A.R. Umm, H5O6? :D

Damkerng T.

20:21

@Lawrence Ellbot is technically not a sockpuppet, I think, 'cause it's not a false identity.

Periodic acid?

Periodic acid

Periodic acid (pronounced per-iodic /ˌpɜːr.aɪˈɒdᵻk/ PURR-eye-OH-dik, rather than /ˌpɪəriˈɒdᵻk/ PEER-ee-OD-ik as in periodic table) is the highest oxoacid of iodine, in which the iodine exists in oxidation state VII. Like all periodates it can exist in two forms: orthoperiodic acid, with the chemical formula H5IO6 and metaperiodic acid, which has the formula HIO4. Periodic acid was discovered by Heinrich Gustav Magnus and C. F. Ammermüller in 1833. == Synthesis == Modern industrial scale production involves the electrochemical oxidation of iodic acid, on a PbO2 anode, with the following standard...

M.A.R.

@Lawrence Funny thing about that is my little brother just suggested the same

He also at first said 'water'

@Lawrence Nah, there's no iodines there

Hint: Those lines are carbons

Carbon-carbon bonds, actually

Draw them, and add the necessary number of hydrogens so they have four bonds

Lawrence

@M.A.R. So H5C6O6?

It's been a long time since I did chemistry as a subject. :)

Damkerng T.

@Lawrence I guess you pinged the wrong guy. :D

M.A.R.

@Lawrence And I'm trying to reunite you

@DamkerngT. So H5C6O6?

Lawrence

20:24

@DamkerngT. Oops. Corrected.

Damkerng T.

(^_^)

M.A.R.

@Lawrence Nah, it lacks some hydrogens

Anyway, it's vitamin C.

L-ascorbic acid

Lawrence

@M.A.R. So, each corner is a C, and hydrogen atoms are added as necessary?

M.A.R.

@Lawrence Yep

Aromaticity

In organic chemistry, the term aromaticity is used to describe a cyclic (ring-shaped), planar (flat) molecule with a ring of resonance bonds that exhibits more stability than other geometric or connective arrangements with the same set of atoms. Aromatic molecules are very stable, and do not break apart easily to react with other substances. Organic compounds that are not aromatic are classified as aliphatic compounds—they might be cyclic, but only aromatic rings have special stability (low reactivity). Since the most common aromatic compounds are derivatives of benzene (an aromatic hydrocarbon...

Bah wrong link

Lawrence

@M.A.R. I suppose you could say that your avatar is a picture of health! :P

@Ellbot Something smells fishy, hmm? :)

M.A.R.

Benzene wouldn't smell fishy. It actually doesn't smell I think

And it's carcinogenic

So don't smell anyway

Lawrence

Time to go - see you all around!
