Only 1% of chemical compounds have been discovered – here's how we search for others that could change the world

Scientists believe undiscovered chemical compounds could help remove greenhouse gases, or trigger a medical breakthrough much like penicillin did.

Key Points: 
  • Scientists believe undiscovered chemical compounds could help remove greenhouse gases, or trigger a medical breakthrough much like penicillin did.
  • We needed nuclear fusion (firing atoms at each other at the speed of light) to make the last handful of elements.
  • But to understand the full scale of the chemical universe, you need to understand chemical compounds too.
  • So, how many chemical compounds can we make with the 118 different sorts of element Lego blocks we currently know?

Big numbers

    • There are lots of these: N2 (nitrogen) and O2 (oxygen) together make up 99% of our air.
    • It would probably take a chemist about a year to make one compound and there are 6,903 two-atom compounds in theory.
    • So that’s a village of chemists working a year just to make every possible two-atom compound.
    • And to make all these chemical compounds, we’d also need to recycle all the materials in the universe several times over.

Surely not all those compounds are possible?

    • It’s true there are rules – but they are kind of bendy, which creates more possibilities for chemical compounds.
    • Even the solitary “noble gases” (including neon, argon and xenon and helium), which tend to not bind with anything, sometimes form compounds.
    • So, if you include extreme environments in your calculations, the number of possible compounds increases.

How scientists search for new compounds

    • Often the answer is to search for compounds that are related to ones that are already known.
    • The X-ray technique that Crowfoot Hodgkin invented on her way to identifying penicillin’s structure is still used worldwide to study compounds.
    • And the same MRI technique that hospitals use to diagnose disease can also be used on chemical compounds to work out their structure.
    • For many useful compounds, like penicillin, it’s easier and cheaper to “grow” and extract them from moulds, plants or insects.
    • Thus the scientists searching for new chemistry still often look for inspiration in the tiniest corners of the world around us.
