**Rules:** Violating a rule will result in a ban.

* **Ask homework, exam, lab, and other undergraduate-level questions at [ChemicalForums](http://www.chemicalforums.com) otherwise it will be deleted.**

* Discussions on illicit drug synthesis, bomb making, and other illegal activities are not allowed and will lead to a ban. However, academic discussions on pharmaceutical chemistry and the science of explosives are permitted.

* No memes, rage comics, image macros, reaction gifs, or other "zero-content" material. Ever.

* Likewise, simple pictures of uninteresting and garden variety chemistry-related things are not appreciated. If a caption or explanation is included this helps, but please use your discretion.

* Before asking about chemical drawing/illustration programs, look at your school's IT/software website and see if they provide an institutional license of ChemDraw (hint: if they have a chemistry department, they will)

* No physorg, sciencedaily, or other press release aggregator spam!

* Yes links to blogs, images, videos, comics, and infographics are okay especially if they are on your personal website.

* If you spill/injure yourself contact medical professionals and read the MSDS, do not post to this reddit. [Click here](https://www.osha.gov/chemicaldata/) for the OSHA chemical data site and [here](http://hazard.com/msds/) for a multicompany MSDS aggregate search.
