Your answer: Organic free radicals.

Correct! After attending the University of Michigan to earn his B.Sc and then his doctorate, Chemistry Professor Moses Gomberg spent the rest of his career working for the University. He was the first person to successfully synthesize tetraphenylmethane, which led to the discovery of organic free radicals.

 

 

THE FRIDAY BLUEBOOK: 09/22/17: ANSWER B

Your answer: The element radon

I would try to tell a chemistry joke here, but I don't think I would get a reaction. I know that's not funny, just trying to make you feel better because your answer is incorrect. After attending the University of Michigan to earn his B.Sc and then his doctorate, Chemistry Professor Moses Gomberg spent the rest of his career working for the University. He was the first person to successfully synthesize tetraphenylmethane, which led to the discovery of organic free radicals, not radon.
