What are the top 2 greenhouse gases in terms of emissions?
What are forever chemicals?
Very stable chemicals that are widely used in industry, so stable that they don’t break down (hence “forever”).
Einsteinium, Curium, Snookium
Snookium
What is the Pauli exclusion principle?

What is the molecular shape of SOCl2?
Trigonal pyramidal
Which chemist coined the "Anomeric Effect"?
Raymond Lemieux
What is the IR technique called where the entire spectrum is collected in 1 scan?

In transition metal catalysis, the step where the metal becomes formally oxidized by 2 electrons, and loses agostic bond while simultaneously gaining two X ligands is called:
Oxidative addition
Californium, Floridium, Tennessine
Floridium
What is the name of the device used in electrochemical cells that connects the oxidation and reduction half-cells?
A salt bridge
What reaction is Grubb’s catalyst associated with?
Olefin metathesis

The Ideal Gas Equation of state is great for ideal gases. What is an equation of state that incorporates the non-ideality of gases (eg, attractive particle forces)? There is more than one possible answer.
Van der Waals, Berthelot, Dieterici, Virial

What is the difference between an intermediate and a transition state in a reaction coordinate diagram?
An intermediate is a local minimum in the reaction coordinate diagram and it could be isolated to study vs. A transition state is the maximum in a reaction coordinate diagram and it cannot be isolated.
