  • awesome exspearmint

  • Tartaric acid FTW.

    I WAS gonna ask if they were optical isomers or not. You answered my question.

  • Organic Chemistry exam partly about stereoisomers this coming Friday. :D Thank you for the demo!

  • So that's why my left hand smells different than my right hand.

  • One in ten people can't tell the difference between the two enantiomers of Carvone when they smell them, apparently. We tested that in our A-level class at my 6th form college when we looked at chiral molecules.
