Probably the best known cyclic compound is the 6 carbon ring cyclohexane a.k.a. benzene



Cyclohexane and benzene are not the same thing. Cyclohexane is a cyclic saturated hydrocarbon, with two hydrogens per carbon. All the bonds are single and the actual molecule is not planar.

Benzene only has one hydrogen per carbon, with resonating bonds. They are totally different chemicals.

Lighter fluid is mostly cyclohexane. Benzene is not readily available because it causes leukemia. However, almost every drug has a benzene ring in its structure.

so..... you're saying sulfur is justa man-whore eh

really nice job mtlmike! awesome overview of some of the juicy bits,
(i think koods is right tho)
however, still a monumental effort for the collective good and the passion shows

buuuuut you *coulda* tossed out a question about what you explained ... like... why ARE benzene rings flat compared to hexane?  or why does butter get solid at room temperature but melt in your hands

(that will be MY question, since its late and i'm being lazy but we'll keep this ball rollin)

Thank you I'll fix it soon. SO is anyone gonna post a chemical or not? I gave up my turn.

Yes Sulfur is a whore and thank you. I was thinking of putting a little quiz at the end but thought that would be excessive lol.

Alright gentlemen/gentlewomen, start your engines:

Below: An alkaline earth metal



I'm thinking of an isotope (think of it as a species).

It's in the following "genus" of atoms/elements:



This mushroom can hyper-accumulate this environmentally toxic isotope:



Name the isotope, the atom/element, and the exact species of mushroom.

Tip: There are two (probably more) papers you should read about this connection.

Hint: Think bioremediation, mycoremediation, or mycorestoration.

Strontium is the element/isotope and Pleurotus eryngii is the mushroom species.

Please clearly tell us the GENUS (element) and SPECIES (isotope) of atom in this guess.

Correct! Just to clarify, the answer is Strontium (for the element/atom "genus"), Strontium-90 (for the isotope or "species"), and the mushroom is Pleurotus eryngii.

This is going to seem a little tricky but should be easy with the right approach.

Below: A mycorrhizal fungi ingesting a radioactive substance.



Below: Two isotopes of an atom that need to be controlled and taken out of our environment to an extent. They are back-to-back in number order.





And it's in the below "genus" of atoms/elements:



Please name the mycorrhizal fungi, the two isotopes using their scientific names, and thirdly list the "genus" of atoms/elements these two isotopes are in.

Hint for the fungi: Role of fungi in the biogeochemical fate

I know the isotopes but it's kinda hard to ID mycelium.

It is the structure of an atom, those circles are electron shells.
The center is the nucleus, the 'N' is neutrons and the 'P' is protons.
The atomic mass should be the number of N's and P's added together.



Here is an actual picture of a hydrogen atom.

Ericoid?  Damn, I haven't gotten to that chapter in my mycorrhizae book yet…

The element is Uranium 238 I'm not sure about the myclium.
I bet if you Googled "ericoid Mycoremediation of Uranium 238" you could find something that would tell you which mushroom species they use.
