What’s the longest chemical formula that spells out a word, but is also an actual chemical formula?
I’m able to come up with “HI”, or hydrogen iodide (which is a real compound). “He” also works, which is just helium.
I’ve tried to use AI to find one, but it was only able to produce CuTe, copper (II) telluride, BiTe, bismuth telluride, and LaTe, lanthanum telluride.
What’s the longest chemical formula that is both valid and spells out a word or phrase?
Sodium citrate is the ingredient responsible for helping regular cheese to melt into a smooth, creamy sauce- it has the chemical formula Na₃C₆H₅O₇.
my failed attempt: SCOTiSH
- Sulfur S
- Carbon C
- Oxygen O
- Titanium Ti (idk if forms a valid compund, a rare heavy metals chemists needs to come in for this one lmao)
- Sulfur S
- Hydrogen H
Scottish person I guess … I failed at the double t. But it sounds right … right?
You want me to search that for you? NaBro!
sodium bromate?
yes, but it is likely going to be NaBrO3, Br is very large, and for Br, +1 is not very stable compared to +5 (most likely with +1, we will have disproportionation reaction)
that’s true
My favorite that doesn’t work is Gallium Yttride: GaY
Ooh, another molecule that suddenly ceased to exist according to the US government
my initial guess would be that it is not stable (very likely we are going to have phase seperation, considering the size difference of atoms, but not sre)
There’s H₃GaY
I’m looking for ones where the chemical formulae is a valid one for a real compound. Don’t think “princess” is a real chemical compound
Ahh ok, I get you now
still pretty interesting though
