MDMRNSo, I have a "World's Smallest Elf on the Shelf" figure at work. This little guy will be moving around my office for the season. Today, I found him hugging a double bond near a carbon atom on my caffeine model.

MDMRNI have not busted out my molecular model kit in a while, so let's go back to O-Chem with MDMRN.<br> <br> Here we have a new compound in a ring shape with a purple ball representing a Nitrogen atom. In terms of chemical properties, in it's pure form, this compound is a colorless liquid with a foul, fishy odor. <br> <br> So - what did I make here? Can you guess the compound? <br> <br> Let me know your best guess in the comments!<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Chemistry?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chemistry</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MolecularModel?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MolecularModel</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/OrganicChemistry?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OrganicChemistry</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Contaminant?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Contaminant</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Toy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ChemistryLove?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChemistryLove</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Organic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Organic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MolecularModelKit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MolecularModelKit</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Chemist?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chemist</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Toys?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toys</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/OrganicChemistryMolecularKit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OrganicChemistryMolecularKit</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MolecularKit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MolecularKit</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/OChem?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OChem</a>
MDMRNWelcome back to another round of organic chemistry with MDMRN.<br> <br> Once again, I've taken my molecular model kit to craft a new molecule. This one, frankly, I was able to craft using the pieces of the previous ones I presented before. While I didn't say it last time, the green represents a halogen, in this case specifically chlorine.<br> <br> A hint is that the production of these types of compounds has been banned in numerous countries, including the United States. It was, historically, found in electrical transformers.<br> <br> Can you guess what type of compound this is?

MDMRNSo, we're going back to organic chemistry everyone!<br> <br> After my first post with my molecular model kit showing an environmental contaminant, I decided to post up another. <br> <br> This one is a semi-volatile organic environmental contaminant that is commonly found in coal tar, mothballs, and mixed into creosote for rail ties. That distinct "mothball odor" is this compound! Fun fact - a human nose can detect the mothball odor before most standard electronic detectors of organic odors / vapors.<br> <br> Can you guess the compound?

MDMRNI don't talk about work here a whole lot, but I'm a chemical engineer by education and have been doing environmental engineering work for the past 17 years. <br> <br> So, I have an organic chemistry molecular model kit that I have kept at work for years. I, periodically, make contaminants I've seen at various sites across my 17 year career cleaning up the environment.<br> <br> Do you know what this chemical is supposed to be?
