Indeed. Paraphrase 2 appears do-able though.

We already have most of this vocabulary with the exception of "chemistry" (*{HapQeD}?) and "compound" (*{Hapghom}?) E.g.:
Qeb/gho lururbogh Hapghom(mey)
ring/circle-like compounds
chay' yIntaHbogh yagh(mey)Daq taH Hapghommey'e'
how do these (compounds) continue/survive in living organisms?
chay' Duqchaj luchenmoH pel'aQ(mey}
how do shells form/build their bowl?
{HaQchor} "saccharin" will do for "sugar". "Coal" may be a problem though - *{nagh qIj}?, *{nInnagh}??
