Please, I want one too! Something from Japan maybe?
Thanks quixy!Without me you all would DIE!!! ha ha ha. Like Sue, i am important to life…red blooded at least!
Hometownboy, we’ve got a crazy new chemical out here in the Big City. It’s called aluminum chlorohydrate. It’s… um… well, it’s the active ingredient in a fair number of anti-perspirants. 
mongrel_8, dihyrdogen oxide? Bite your tongue! That’s evil stuff right there. You can be the much more sinister molecule dioxygen. From my point of view, as an inorganic chemist, dioxygen is most definitely a mongrel. It really messes up everything we try to do. We go to great lengths to get rid of the dioxygen. A lot of the stuff we make spontaneously ignites in air! How cool is that?
rsa, any relation to Rasa? You have some fine alcoholic choices. In honor of that, I’ll give you a piano-stool compound or, as my colleagues and I have dubbed them, bar stool compounds. You can be cyclopentadienyl manganesetricarbonyl, (C[sub]5[/sub]H[sub]5[/sub])Mn(CO)[sub]3[/sub]. You can see a picture of it Here.
Tazma, something that just is, and makes no apologies about it? I tell ya what, you can be the element Radon. Sure, you’re radioactive, but you don’t really apologize for it.
ultrafilter, something geeky, eh? I’ll assign you the molecule that I’ve studied to DEATH, Fe[sub]2/sub[sub]3/sub[sub]2[/sub] where the u- is supposed to be the Greek letter mu. You can see it Here. If a molecule I’ve studied ain’t geeky, nothing is.
Leifsmama, I believe I’ve already assigned Francium, but that’s ok. You see, you’re French, but you’re nerded up a bit too, what with the associate’s degree in applied science. So, I’ll give you the element Lutetium, named after Lutetia, the Latin name for Paris.
Ferggie, ye gods! You want a memorable element? How about Arsenic? Next time some bastard tries to forget who you are, give 'em what for.
Galaxiastar, you crazy newbie. I can assign you a chemical, but it can’t be something really fancy schmancy until you’ve earned your wings, so to speak. But I will let you be [sup]56[/sup]Fe, a specific isotope of the element iron. What’s cool about you is that, like all elements other than hydrogen and helium, you were made in the nuclear reactions in the stars, but you’re the most stable atom in the entire universe.
Peregrine, I’m going to have to have a talk with the Chemistry Gods. You’d think that if they can distill a person’s entire personality into a chemical, they’d be able to recognize your gender. Then again, maybe such lofty matters supercede such notions. [sub]Or, to put it another way, sorry about that![/sub]
Goo, isn’t there something in the Bible about not testing the Chemistry Gods? Oh wait… nevermind. Umm… why don’t I cover my bases here, and give you manganese? You exhibit the widest range of oxidation states out of any element, you’re useful in solution, as the metal, and as ionic compounds, and you’re often confused with magnesium, so if that’s a more appropriate element for you, then I merely misheard the Chemistry Gods 
MarsDragon, you can be Cerium, which was named after the asteroid Ceres, found near Mars. Apparently, you’re used in cigarette lighters, so there ya go, Mr. (I hope Mr. and not Miss) Dragon.
Derleth, rele-valent? Argh. Just for that, you’re getting a non-octet rule compound. You’re diborane, B[sub]2[/sub]H[sub]6[/sub]. Used in gloveboxes and air-free environments, you’re quite nice to work with. But you’re pyrophoric, meaning that you burn when exposed to air. And, as we all know, politicans blow a lot of hot air…
MsRobyn, I thought that was me who did that? (Who are we kidding, we all do that). Now, I seem to recall you spelling your online persona with a y, but you’re really Robin. Just in case you find yourself running out of Y’s, you can be Yttrium, element Y. You’re most often used in televisions, and if that isn’t senseless and out-of-context, nothing is.
Osakadave, something from Japan, eh? Ok, I’ll give you fullerene tubes. Remember hearing about buckyballs? Fullerene tubes are made of the same stuff (just carbon), but they’re far more useful, because they’re more tuneable. And they were discovered in Japan 
If it’s not too much trouble, could you oblige me as well?
And I’d like to get in on the action myself. Just what does define me?
No relation to Rasa.
Very creative choice as I do spend an inordinate amount of time on bar stools. Also, my chemical is also known as a half-sandwich compound and I often have a half of a club sandwich when drinking at Fridays!
I also see that I am a bright yellow crystal, I am cumbustible, and I can cause shortness of breath (presumably among the ladies ) I also seem to be useful as an anti-knock additive.
Best of all, I love the way cyclopentadienyl manganesetricarbonyl rolls off the tongue :eek:.
I don’t seem to have a common name. Would I be barmancene, barflycene, or barstoolcene? Is that the correct naming convention?
Fe[sub]2/sub[sub]3/sub[sub]2[/sub], eh? So what’s the scientific name of this molecule? I’ll look more geeky if I can give it the correct name.
Well duh, obviously my common name should be barcene!
Thank you very much, quix…I guess.
Um…can I reapply without the excuse thing?
'Specially since I don’t own a television. Thanks, Quixy!
Robin
ok, me me me me me!
And since I got to meet you last night, I can personally vouch for the fact you are the most un-chemist looking chemist I have ever seen. [sub]traslation: freaking adorable…yum [/sub]
So you just go right ahead and do me!
I’m really new, but could i have a chemical too?
I’m silly, random, and frequently unusual.
My own chemical? Sweet deal, sweet deal indeed.
(p.s., don’t give me one hard to pronounce, I have some small lingual non-normalities.)
Ooh! Ooh! jumps up and down waving her arm
Bonus point for the Chemistry Gods if I turn out to be my favorite poison… sees weird looks Of course I have a favorite poison, don’t you?
please tell me what chemical i may be, thanks!
Humor me for my first post in far too long, and include me in your oh-so-grand element and chemical assigning? ::bows down to the chemistry god:: It would make my week =)
I’m radiant, inflexible and reactive. Chemicalize me, Quixy!
Well, I have a sort of backwards request:
I already know my chemical, as I will be altering and studying the hell out of it for the next 8 months:
1,5,9-decatriene
So my question is, what does this say about me?
