To promote spring feelings, 3Dchem has chosen SEX to be the molecule of the month March 2007: you can play around with different positions using their nice java applet.
According to the NICNAS fact-sheet, everything that contains more than 20% SEX is hazardous:
"Under normal conditions (20°C), there is enough moisture in the air to cause SEX to form carbon disulphide, a highly flammable, toxic gas that is readily absorbed through the skin. [...] It is poisonous but there is a lack of information about its health effects.
SEX is readily absorbed by the skin and is a skin and eye irritant [...].
Signs of high exposure are dizziness, tremors, difficulty breathing, blurred vision [...]. It causes severe skin, eye and respiratory irritation."
So, be careful...

(Try the acronym) You don't have to pay for the privilege, either - US Patent 3792346 has expired.
*lol* I see, we're on the same wavelength ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Bee,
ReplyDeleteSo what is the real difference between atom/quantum physics and chemestry?
Is chemestry just one more step of the ladder beginning with quarks, then protons, (neutrons) and electrons?
where goes the boundaries between the different diciplines of science?
Is chemestry merely convenient and reliable recipies for mixing matter under right proportions and circumstance achieving predictable and repeatable results?

I suppose this is why SEX is XXX-rated regardless of time or place.;)
ReplyDeletePhysics makes it possible, chemistry makes it. You cannot have things until you have stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe xanthate process was a major source of rayon until the Lyocell process did much better (aside from its solvent being prone to explode if overheated - so hire an engineer, too). Go Green.
Klaus, chemistry remains more or less focused upon electromagnetism, whereas physics focuses upon all the forces in Nature. But since I'm clearly not an expert in either field, I'm more than receptive to a much better answer to your question.
ReplyDeleteFunny! Some of those positions are actually rather suggestive. ;-)
ReplyDelete"SEX is readily absorbed by the skin and is a skin and eye irritant"
Uh, yeah, you sure don't want to get any of that stuff in your eyes. ;-)
Dear Bee
ReplyDeleteYou never told us about the Hyaluronidase. It was Molecule of the Month back in August 2001. It is also known as:
The killer Bee

Hi Klaus,
ReplyDelete*ouch* this video ought to be XXX-rated. Regarding your question where atom physics meets chemistry: I would say there is no strict boundary between physics and chemistry, neither is there one between chemistry and biotech, or medicine etc etc. I another direction, at some point theoretical physics dissolves into maths. Regarding your question about quantum physics: whether or not quantum effects play a role can be easily estimated for the various fields. Typically, quantum effects become more relevant for smaller distances/higher energies. Occasionally though, I am perfectly sure my brain has a wavefunction, and it collapses every now and then ;-)
Best,

I see, you have discovered my dark secret. I am the killer queen, and I am presently very, very concerned about the Colony Collapse Disorder
(Though I doubt is has something to do with cellphone nets.)
