90% 0f that stuff is second nature if you've gotten a PhD.

Asymmetric boration would need a red for me, but I'd just Google it and look for an undergrad .edu explainer and sample 3-4 answers

If it's more esoteric, I'd just search through a couple of papers. There's usually a paper.

If it's some specific number, pubChem or chemSpider usually have what I'm looking for.

Honestly, I probably look stuff up on Wikipedia as much as anywhere else. They usually have plenty of basic physical properties for common chemicals. And a useful svg structure that's easily stealable for a presentation....
