Need help to identify a chemical
« on: November 06, 2008, 12:52:26 PM »
I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this question or not.  So I am going to try.  I am trying to identify the chemical name and a more friendly name if it exists.

If you could help - I would be so appreciative.

Hot stuff.

Calculate number of atoms of every element and combine them into CxHyNzOw formula, then google.

I never took chemistry and am unsure how to do it exactly and correctly!  I will give it a shot!

Interesting ... now that is indeed HOT!

Many thanks.

Back in the old days on this forum, there was a link to a web page, that would load some very cranky Java applet, that allowed you to draw a structure, and it would spit back the IUPAC name, which can then be searched, on that forum, or on Google.  I even linked to it for other people in my old responses, but I've lost it now.  Can anyone help?
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
