2nd prize is a surprise cd. [sm_devil] Title: Re: Aske presents a 'guess the material' contest... coming up shortly.. Post by: birdymaker on February 05, 2008, 03:23:41 PM looks like a lite brite. :D
Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest... Post by: Aske on February 05, 2008, 03:26:56 PM sorry, that's not it
:'( Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest... Post by: Clive on February 05, 2008, 03:42:42 PM Well, I recognize the tetraphosphates.

Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest... Post by: gleek on February 05, 2008, 03:53:29 PM Does each color represent a unique element?

Post by: gleek on February 05, 2008, 04:07:51 PM So, white nubby things = H gray spheres = N red spheres = O blue spheres = C ? 2/4 Does size reflect atomic number/weight? Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest... Post by: Aske on February 05, 2008, 04:08:35 PM not necessarily.
Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest... Post by: gleek on February 05, 2008, 04:10:31 PM not necessarily. Is there a way to tell the difference between a single and a double bond? Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest... Post by: Aske on February 05, 2008, 04:14:12 PM not from the way the atoms are rendered.
only from deduction/intuition. Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest... Post by: stroh on February 05, 2008, 04:16:31 PM zinc oxide

Post by: gleek on February 05, 2008, 04:20:29 PM not from the way the atoms are rendered. only from deduction/intuition. Intuition tells me that the gray spheres are carbon atoms then, and I have to assume some of them are joined by double bonds. Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest...

LMAO Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest... Post by: Spanky on February 05, 2008, 07:05:10 PM I'm gonna guess graphite, not with nanotubes (although as stroh pointed out that could be assumed).
Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest... Post by: Aske on February 05, 2008, 07:35:12 PM spanky, kinda close but not really.
gleek- giving up? maybe i should pick a simpler material . ;D Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest... Post by: stroh on February 05, 2008, 07:37:25 PM So, it ain't Flubber.

(http://pubs.acs.org/cen/news/83/i50/8350notw8.html) So what do the numbers represent? Quote 1,3,5-benzenetribenzoate I recognized the benzene rings, but how do the numbers relate to how they're chained together?I never took organic chemistry, and I was teh sukk at even acids and bases in 2nd semester chemistry.

Post by: Aske on February 05, 2008, 08:02:10 PM I never took organic chemistry, and I was teh sukk at even acids and bases in 2nd semester chemistry. yes, just the position on the ring where the bonds form (aka replacing the hydrogen atoms).

I can try with another MR image. :D Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest...

I see. The numbers seem to apply only to the central ring that the other rings radiate out from, but not the radiating rings themselves. Title: Re: Another 'guess the material' contest...
