    There are two important points to note about this:

    1. The Daily Mail is by far the most xenophobic mainstream newspaper in the United Kingdom. It’s like Fox News, except you actually need to know how to read.
    2. Under Project 2025, transgender people will be classed as sex offenders. You can see where this may be going. Bad news.

    Ah, my chemistry department taught me the other way around. I distinctly remember the phrase “methyl-ethyl” being thrown around a bit. Additionaly, we were taught to be more specific about isomers, hence me using butan-2-yl instead of isobutyl.

    Then again, scientists often disagree strongly about things like this, so we could both be right. Also, there’s a good chance this is just the A-Level specification being weird. I left my old textbook at my student flat, though, so I won’t be able to check for a couple of weeks.

    I could also be downright wrong myself.

    As for the hydrogens, I had assumed they were not present, and that this lossane molecule is an ion with a charge of -50. This is borderline impossible to achieve in real life, of course.
