Objections to your last post

[Ultress]

Objection... That was objectionable

 

[Pimppeter2]

I think it was supposed to be a pm

I dont understand how he could have gotten the 2 mixed up tho

even if lolcats are funny.

BZZTP DERP! AHAHAHA wrong.

Lastly, Why would oxygen ever bond with two carbon atoms? That is unstable and saying otherwise demonstraes your ignorance.

Because there was that rule that particles try to make a set weight of the particle. I think it went like 2 + 2, 4 + 2, 8 + 2, 16 + 2, 32 + 2 and so on.

Something with numbers. Last time I had this in school was over a year ago, so I don't remember how it exactly went... And I didn't have any Chemistry lessons this year.

edit: I looked at the table and it didn't make sense. I used to be really good at this...

That's the thing, while the numbers work, the molecule is unstable, which should be obvious to anybody.

Okay, it seems that some people don't appreciate this much randomness.

If you didn't get the joke, this was just a bunch of random things put up to make you go "WTF?" If it did that, then the post did what it was supposed to do, but don't take it seriously. This kind of thing occurs whenever someone wants to take a thread down, if anyone remembers the "ploo" poll.

 

[Anachronism]

What what are you talking about? How does this make any kind of sense? Whose last post are you referring to? What was it about? Why are you objecting to it? What am I doing here? WHY?!

 

[Resistance205]

Yeah! You stick it to the man! But before you do, take a science lesson from...These guys!

of course oxygen can bond to two carbon atoms just as long as the two carbon atoms are bonded to somthing else, huzzah!

Yup... simple. Dimethyl ether, if it's hydrogen atoms.

Ethers are stable... they're used as aprotic solvents...

...you may also want to look up glucose, which has an oxygen bonded to two carbons...

(and esters and epoxides and lactones...)

Personally, I find it funny that there are less than ten total words in the first three posts, meaning that those people posted in this thread for no other reason than to express their confusion to the world.

I do appreciate those of you who decided to go along with me in my antics and post more inane things. Knowing the forums, however, this will turn into a chemistry debate.

Also, Trivun, is it really necessary to report this?

I think that anyone who says it is possible for one oxygen and 2 carbon to bond mistook CO2 for C20. Dicarbon Oxide!

Yeah, it really is. Sorry.

I bite my thumb at you sir!

...Which is Shakespearan for: What the heck? Did you just insult me? We will duel at dawn, with pistols at 10 paces. I will, of course, cheat to ensure victory.

Okay, so I've just sketched a quick MO diagram for your "C[small]2[/small]O", and apparently it would have a bond order of 1/2 per C-O bond (assuming linear geometry [which allows for best overlap of the p-orbitals]). It's safe to say that it would be unlikely to be either kinetically or thermodynamically stable.

Oh, yeah?
So all of a sudden every single bond must occur based off of the oxidation states alone?

Hydrogen Peroxide.

I mean...
Two hydrogen satisfies the valence orbital of Oxygen.
Why then, have two hydrogens bonded with two oxygens?

Edit: Not an actual question, don't feel compelled to answer.
Just saying that by the OP's logic, it shouldn't work.

Yeah, but I was bored.

 

[Hazy]

Uhuh..
Ok, so I'm just gonna walk that way now --->

 

[Ben Legend]

wait... this thread still not been locked?
so there's a point to it?

Yeah... This thread fails as a whole.

Hydrogen Peroxide has no carbon, so your example kind of misses the point.

Anyways, organic molecule are weurd, and have seemingly arbitrary rules if you don't know chemistry really well.

Just saying.
