Any incorrect chemistry in Breaking Bad?

[Cynnsia]

Obviously the electron configuration of Ba, 2-8-18-7, as in the picture, is wrong at the beginning of most episodes until the last season. Any others?

by the way the demonstration of some chemical phenomena given by Mr. White in the very first episode is amazing!

I think if there is false chemical information it's purposely false because they do not want to make an instruction manual that helps other people commit illegal crimes. I will give you an example, the government bans information on how to commit suicide, how to hide evidence of a crime, how to stalk people on social media platforms, how to cheat in school, because it does not want to encourage criminal behaviour on it's platforms. I know many things that can make people more corrupt such as methods of divination etc.. I don't post it cause I do not want to support that type of behaviour.

Actually there are a lot of things like how to make bombs, the most painless way to kill yourself, etc. on the internet.

You're right partly. It's clarified that the process of making drugs is intentionally obfuscated and the fake materials used therein is made look like real ones in an official introduction video. But there's also some chemistry irrelevant to drugs in the episodes, like hydrofluoric acid can corrode steel, rocks, ceramics and flesh. Also the chemistry error said in my question is obvious and finally is corrected in the episodes of the last season.

I had never noticed that until you called attention to it. But then it's been a long time since I had to study the periodic table.

[Cynnsia]

@zagor Wow the periodic table. Do you think chemistry is interesting?

I majored in it for a couple terms but didn't like coming home with green hands. Decided I'd major in something less stinky.
