Hey everyone, this is a little experiment. Let me know if you think any A-terms are glaringly missing, if you hate any of my definitions, or if you really wish a specific answer weren't on here. Thanks!

I just noticed a little spelling error in natural under the chemicals subheading. Everything else is great though. Awesome quiz as usual.

@Last two letters First two letters. Sorry sproutcm. I think we just look at words in a similar way and find opportunities from them. I've pulled it, thanx for letting me know.

Wow, this is like the Gift of the Magi. I just commented on your science quiz, and you commented on mine to try to have a conversation :)

Yeah, I liked this one despite not being at all knowledgeable on Chemistry. But it felt like cheating to get so many right by filling in words that were correct answers, and only thus finding out to which questions they belonged. Is answer in order more appropriate?

Two of your formulas are wrong: they should be NH2C6H5 (not H6) and CH3OC6H5 (not H6 again). Nice quiz though.

@Psycho And acetic acid is also ethanoic acid, etc.; but these only have one name that begins with the letter A.

I've never called h2ccch2 anything other than propadiene. What about the Antoine equation, which relates vapor pressure and temperature?

There are three amino acids beginning with 'A': 'alanine,' 'asparagine,' and 'aspartate (aspartic acid).' Also, I might be wrong, but is 'autoionization' also refered to as 'autolysis' of water?

one could add azeotrope and amphoteric. If you have aspirin, you may consider adding ampicillin

fantastic quiz! a ton of fun. however, i do agree that there should be more answers available for "autoionization": i have heard the terms autolysis, autodissociation, and autoprotolysis used commonly.
