So, as you may have gathered, I have a chemistry project due tomorrow. i need to build a 3-D molecular structure of a certain substance. The thing is, I don't know what substance to make. +K for good ideas

(p.s. for those of you about to say THC, no.)

Something simple or not?

if you're aiming for something hard, doing a drug (meth, coke, heroine, etc) can be fun and my teacher actually built those for us in class.

Something simpler, I guess just randomly open your textbook, spot a molecule with a relatively long name, google it and built it. ie CH3COOH or a 6 carbon ring with various extensions

How complex?

Make this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VX_%28nerve_agent%29

Not that complicated, it is the green stuff from the movie The Rock, and it is actually a really amazing compound in real life.

Make Dopamine. Not terribly hard to make, cool to make a writeup about if you need to, and it looks like the starship enterprise. You could mount laser pointers to it for extra marks and shoot down other pussy molecules.

do acetylsalicylic acid. Its a super easy molecule with loads of functional groups. Plus you can talk about how aspirin is a super cheap wonder drug.

I think NS has a pretty high concentration (zing) of sciences-oriented members. We're not a stupid lot, us.
