Screw your xanthmemes.

This is confusing. What exactly is the molecule on the right called?
What exactly is this molecule of pure chocolate? I thought chocolate was made of cocoa bean fat, and what have you, including caffeine. Caffeine on the left I understand but they didn't call that one "coffee"
>>7954464
Fuck you, I wish people gave faggy chemistry themed merchandise as gifts.
It's less retarded than if I bought these for myself

The one on the right is theobromine. It's found in chocolate. The mug is wrong because "carbon dihydride" is goofy nomenclature for methylene and they differ by a methyl group attached to the N, not a CH2 attached to the NH, which isn't even possible.

Whoah. The matrix of [math]\textbf{W,T,F}[/math] column vectors form WTF, TFW, and FTW....
>>7954571
I'll bite the bait.
The molecule on the right is called theobromine. It's a trivial name (obviously, looking at the structure makes it clear that it contains no bromine). It's systematic name is most likely some fuckery like caffienes. The difference between caffiene and chocolate is very small but nontheless still easy to spot.
Caffiene and theobromine are known as "xanthines" (pic related):
Caffiene: R1 = methyl group, R2 methyl group, R3 = methyl group
Theobromine: R1 = hydrogen, R2 = methyl group, R3 = methyl group
Unsurpsiginly, these compounds are also considered alkaloids. (look at what's bound in the rings and you'll know why)
I'm not educated in chemistry, can someone explain what's wrong with it?
>>7954607
Chloroine
>>7954607
what's wrong with the OP pic?
Caffeine and chocolate differ by -CH2- which is called 'methylene' not 'carbon dihydride'.
>>7954607

A reducing agent so powerful, it can donate electrons to God.
>>7954638
Make the structure linear because you have three lone pairs.
>>7954645
can a physicist confirm if positrons can make lone pairs or is it just for electrons?
>>7954645
What if it makes only sp2 hybrid orbitals, and the positrons stay in a p-orbital. That way they don't mix with the electrons, and everyone is happy.
>>7954666
what are you doing?

>>7954673
wait so why did the guy say CH2 isn't possible
>>7954681
The nitrogen can't accept any more bonds. Theobromine has the nitrogen bonded to a carbon with 3 hydrogen bonded to it. The OP pic implies the nitrogen in theobromine is bonded to a hydrogen which is bonded to a carbon (H can only bond to 1) or the N is bonded to both a H and a CH2, which it can't because it can only accept 3 and is bonded to 2 carbons already.

*caffeine, got them backwards.
