How do you'll write chemical equations proeply with Latex?

properly *

wythagoras

@CaptCoonoor Using \ce.

Q: Why methyl group is 2,4-directing?

This question maybe duplicate but I can't find it anywhere. I am an A level student and this isn't required at this level. No teacher tells me the answer and the websites about it are too complicated for me to understand. I would be grateful if anyone can provide a explanation which a high school...

organic-chemistry

@wythagoras Run the query? Start:

orthocresol

@CaptCoonoor Well, you can either read the mhchem documentation at ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mhchem/mhchem.pdf but I'm sure there's a link in meta with a quick guide. I'll look for it.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@CaptCoonoor Chem.SE loads mhchem in addition to basic mathjax, so you can use the \ce command.

@orthocresol "quick"

orthocresol

@CaptCoonoor Here you go meta.chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/86/…

Giggles "Quick"

CaptCoonoor

Thank you 2-Cresol

Jan

Right, back to my optical activity measurement!

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Hero of the day: Jan

Or heroine, whatever.

orthocresol

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Some things can be explained quickly. Unfortunately, LaTeX syntax isn't one of them....

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@orthocresol Yeah. No programming syntax is, actually.

Jan

17:03

Am I really? I only did forty xD

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Guys I don't extend the time for this TRE. The next one will begin one hour later though.

orthocresol

There are some new questions that we should... try to pay attention to.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

So TRE is ending in 2 minutes, since we started off 5 mins late.

@orthocresol Yes, that's why TRE isn't 3 hours long. :)

wythagoras

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M I did the one you posted. But nothing more.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Not great.

Kidding! All help we get is precious.

Jan

17:08

Input for this, please:

Q: What's unique about the most commonly used hetero-cyclic elements?

I have question about hetero-cycles: Why do we use (the most common hetero-cyclic elements) nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur as hetero compounds most of time?

organic-chemistry

wythagoras

I had extended work today unfortunately.

I will be able to participate next two Fridays, and then probably three not.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@Jan Use?

Jan

As in tagging it use?

Wildcat

Is it over? :D

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@Wildcat Yes.

Stats time.

Hippalectryon

17:11

How do you make those tags in chat ?

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@Hippalectryon [tag:lol] -> lol

orthocresol

@Hippalectryon Like this tag

Hippalectryon

batman

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@Hippalectryon Magix, no?

Jan

batman lolis-in-chemistry etc.

Guys, did I make any mistake here ?
http://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/38744/1-f-of-electricity-is-passed-through-10l-aq-nacl-solution-calculate-ph-of-the/38745#38745

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

:24611795 You can't put spaces in there.

orthocresol

@CaptCoonoor Is that a genuine question?

Jan

@CaptCoonoor Yes, you forgot homework

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@orthocresol No, the OP isn't French.

Hippalectryon

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M [tag:(/¯◡‿◡)/¯~┻━┻]

wythagoras

17:13

Also, [meta-tag: tagging] (without space) gives you tagging for tags at the meta site

orthocresol

@CaptCoonoor If you're just experimenting with latex you can use this meta post meta.chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/111/… just submit an answer

CaptCoonoor

@orthocresol Yes It is, Asked in FY B.Sc Chemistry

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@Hippalectryon Maybe Unicode chars also don't work. （ノT＿T)ノ＾┻━┻

CaptCoonoor

@Jan Thanks

wythagoras

[tag:┻━┻]

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

17:14

@Capt alternatively, this chatroom is yours to experiment in:

Hippalectryon

Aha it doesn't like parenthesis

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

MathJax/(La/Xe)TeX help

If you have any questions about MathJax formatting used in che...

CaptCoonoor

@orthocresol Thanks.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@Hippalectryon O.o

Mithoron

@CaptCoonoor Why did you even add this question?

Jan

17:15

@CaptCoonoor what @mith said.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@Capt what these guys are trying to say is, that's not how homework questions are asked.

CaptCoonoor

Oh Ok

Should I remove it?

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@CaptCoonoor Or reform it.

See "How can I ask Homework questions on Chemistry Stack Exchange?"

CaptCoonoor

Oh well yes.

wythagoras

The next TRE will be next Friday form 16:30 UTC to 18:00 UTC.

Hippalectryon

17:19

For this kind of questions, what can I add other than the dull reaction ?

orthocresol

@Hippalectryon Synthesis maybe.

Jan

Yeah, synthesis

Wildcat

Jan

Right, 20 Edits approved today \o/

Also, all close votes (once again) used up \o/

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

But 110 edits only. :'(

Hippalectryon

17:26

Why does theoretical-chemistry (chemistry.stackexchange.com/tags/theoretical-chemistry/info) only seem to be used for reactions ?

'For questions seeking generalised answers deduced from or composed of theories regarding the chemical reactions involved.'

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

OK @Hipp, as TRE's over, I think you should stop.

Hippalectryon

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M I still have some in my list to finish

Like, 5

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Thanks for the help! (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

Finish them then!

Hippalectryon

Finish him!

Hippalectryon

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M What will be the next tag when we finish Organic chem ?

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@Hippalectryon Everyday chem.

And physical chem.

Hippalectryon

~~Smoke chem everyday?~~

Jan

> Take chem everyday!

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@Jan link it yourself, I'm busy doing some tag cleaning stuff in another meta.

Jan

I'm busy writing a report.
