I’ve been looking for something that can prepare hydrofluoric acid from fluorite and sulfuric acid for some time, and I’ve finally found such a game.
The idea of the game is to collect every element on the periodic table to repair your ship. Compounds with several elements won’t work - only compounds that consist of a particular element are eligible.
And how do you do that? You have to react things with each other to make new compounds. And/or you use heat to do it. Or, you use electrolysis to separate elements (I like the electrolysis reaction where salt is separated into sodium and chlorine gas). Or you use your particle accelerator gun to make synthetic elements.
There are a bunch of reactions missing (you can’t mix pure sodium and fluorine to get NaF on the spot), but there are enough to get all the elements. I had a fun time with it.
What? Don’t compounds have at least two elements by definition?
Not O2. I consider that a compound, regardless of what the actual definition is.
Lmao so you know you’re wrong
My definition has some intrigue, which the official one lacks. You understand my meaning, yes?
I think the formal term is “simple substance (element)”, but that hardly rolls off the tongue, so I understand why you call it a compound for simplicity / colloquially. There isn’t a good word that refers to things like O2. Maybe we should invent one like Shakespeare? I propose “Monopound”
Thats my bank accounts nickname
You can say “molecular oxygen” for O2, “molecular hydrogen” for H2, etc.
A very flashy name. I approve. O2 is now a type of monopound.
The existing term is “molecular oxygen” but actually just saying 02 is easier. Molecules in general can describe both elements and compounds.
