Longest valid chemical formulae that speels outs words or phrases
Longest valid chemical formulae that speels outs words or phrases
What’s the longest chemical formula that spells out a word, but is also an actual chemical formula?
I’m able to come up with “HI”, or hydrogen iodide (which is a real compound). “He” also works, which is just helium.
I’ve tried to use AI to find one, but it was only able to produce CuTe, copper (II) telluride, BiTe, bismuth telluride, and LaTe, lanthanum telluride.
What’s the longest chemical formula that is both valid and spells out a word or phrase?

I’m looking for ones where the chemical formulae is a valid one for a real compound. Don’t think “princess” is a real chemical compound

Ahh ok, I get you now

still pretty interesting though

No SSL? Hrmph. (edit: they actually do have SSL but it's self-signed)

My favorite that doesn't work is Gallium Yttride: GaY
-
my initial guess would be that it is not stable (very likely we are going to have phase seperation, considering the size difference of atoms, but not sre)

Ooh, another molecule that suddenly ceased to exist according to the US government

There's H₃GaY

my failed attempt: SCOTiSH
- Sulfur S
- Carbon C
- Oxygen O
- Titanium Ti (idk if forms a valid compund, a rare heavy metals chemists needs to come in for this one lmao)
- Sulfur S
- Hydrogen H
Scottish person I guess … I failed at the double t. But it sounds right … right?

i appreciate your attempt :)
