Let's do the one we both have a clue on and say that
enzymes
are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions. I don't think it's the most obscure, but I do think Xalxe has the wrong naming scheme for the alkanes
I also thought of electrolysis for the first one and entropy for the fourth one, with me being more confident about the former than the latter, but I don't have the courage to risk either.

You'll see very shortly why that's a wrong answer.
How many people said enzymes?
Spoiler:
54!
This ties us up, and brings us to the final head-to-head question.
Xalxe, what you were going for was ethane rather than ethanol, and it would have won you the point. Let's take a look at all the right answers and their scores.
