Title: Roads that are also compounds
Post by: hotdogPi on November 24, 2014, 06:28:56 AM
NH3 (ammonia) almost works. The only reason why it doesn't is because Route 3 in New Hampshire is US 3, not NH 3.

NH4 exists as a route, but it is a positively charged ion (ammonium), not a full compound.

Are there any that are both routes and compounds?

I'm not doing your chemistry homework for you.

OH2 and OH3

If H20 denotes two molecules of hydrogen and one of oxygen, then I suppose H-201, when pronounced the way most people pronounce it, could be considered a more specific way of naming water even if using the "1" is not conventional chemical notation. (Seriously, I've never met anyone who pronounces road numbers as "two-zero-one," it's always "two-oh-one.")

That would exclude all Arkansas highways since Ar is an element.

There is also CO-2 and you should roll down your windows for plenty of air when driving CO-1...

I-2.  Also (I-)H2.

I'm thinking that all those subdivision streets like Springdale, Parkview, Southbrook, and Stonehedge would work. After all, they are compound words.  :)

I-H1 actually, since Hydrogen Iodide.
US2 is apparently a thing. There are two of those.


EDIT: NB-1. Was trying to get something like "NH-1B" but it's ruined by the H. NH-1C would work, but it doesn't exist.
EDIT2: ON-Mb 1 would also work, but Ontario just refuses to cooperate and renumber 17. ON-2 certainly works.

CO3 and CO5 work too. As would CO4 and CO6 if they were still highways.

As is US3. Also apparently. (http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?sq3008)

I'm sure there are plenty of dairy farms along CA 20. :)

And here I was thinking this thread would be about prison driveways.

Argon is a noble gas and doesn't form compounds. :)

(At least not in nature, after reading up on it.)

I believe SC 203 has not yet been mentioned.  Also: http://www.webelements.com/compounds/
