I believe the diagram on the left incorrectly shows a double-bond between the carbon and the OH pair. -- Dtgriscom (talk) 03:13, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

"incorrectly shows a double-bond" This may be more correct (there are many ways to draw it):

I assume 'Nackle' is NaCl (Sodium Chloride, aka salt) Pvnic (talk) 03:30, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

for blood pressure reasons I use fake salt = potassium chloride. Note to self: don't say "please pass the kackle" because at best at best I'd get a funny look and a chicken nugget. (Thinking) Or do. Chicken nuggets are good.172.68.245.179 04:41, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

And in the meta-humor department, the explanation message "Created by a BORON-OXYGEN-TANTALUM-URANIUM-TITANIUM-MOLYBDENUM-TITANIUM-CARBON-ALUMINUM-LITHIUM" abbreviates to "B O Ta U Ti Mo Ti C Al Li", or "BOT aUTiMoTiCaLLi". Jordan Brown (talk) 04:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

OH! Thank you.
