Mathchan supports embedding chemfig figures by using
\chemfig{...}
command,
\* ... \*
block or by starting a line with
,*
.

For example, pasting the following excerpt (Guanine with 5-ring) from the attached PDF file (chemfig manual):
\chemfig{*6((-H_2N)=N-*5(-\chembelow{N}{H}-=N-)=-(=O)-HN-[,,2])}

Will render as the following figure on Mathchan:

Do you look like a scientist?

I know that these fuels produce less CO2 and emissions but they also produce less energy too. therfore we have to burn more of them which increases their environmental impact

Try /med/.
Perhaps they can medicate you properly.

>Guys I'm a future doctor taking organic next year. Tell me how to get a good grade!
Just make sure you memorize everything. Don't bother trying to understand the concepts, that's a waste of time and is meant for actual chemistry students who'll need it later on. It's a lot easier if you just brute force your way through it and memorize all the mechanisms.

>I'm a pissant undergrad, how do I into synthesis research?
Go walk up to a professor and tell them you want to work in their lab. Most are glad to take on a new student, provided you aren't completely retarded - you're basically free labor. Note that if your school has a lot of future doctors then you might have to compete with them on grades, some of them might also be bumming the prof so they could pad up their applications. Also, note that if you're at a big fancy school you're gonna need good grades regardless bud
