He Don't Let Go Of His Electrons

Nuclear third-wheeling at its finest! The meme perfectly captures atomic relationships—protons and neutrons snuggling in the nucleus while electrons orbit around, forever excluded from the nuclear party. The strong nuclear force keeps protons and neutrons tightly bound despite protons' positive charges trying to repel each other. Meanwhile, electrons are stuck in the friend zone, circling the nucleus but never allowed to join the core club. That's atomic structure for you—some particles just have more attractive forces than others!

Chemistry students asking why their professor wears a mask is peak academic innocence. Little do they know that behind every scientific discipline is a chaotic mess of "weird rules and exceptions" that would make your brain melt. Chemistry is just the gateway drug. Once you peek behind quantum physics, you'll understand why some professors develop that thousand-yard stare. Trust me, there's a reason we keep certain knowledge locked away—your sanity depends on it. Twenty years into teaching and I'm still putting on the mask before explaining orbital hybridization. It's not to protect me from chemicals—it's to protect students from seeing my soul leave my body.

Finally, a taxonomy of matter that makes sense to both 90s kids and quantum physicists! Geodude perfectly captures the rigid, structured nature of solids, while Muk oozes with liquid charm. Gastly's gaseous form is spot on, and Rotom's electrical plasma state is *chef's kiss*. But the real scientific gold is in the Bose-Einstein condensate mice demanding proper pronouns because "we are literally a lots of people." That's quantum mechanics humor at its finest—when particles cool to near absolute zero, they actually do behave as a single entity! And don't get me started on the hyperfluid Alakazam and Kadabra rebelling against physics. "Screw the rules I am money" is basically what superfluids say to viscosity as they climb up walls and leak through solid containers. Twenty years of teaching thermodynamics, and I've never seen it explained so accurately with psychic Pokémon.

Those "lazy" atoms just chilling until the tiniest temperature bump hits and suddenly they're bouncing off the walls like they've had 12 espressos! This is literally thermal energy in action—atoms that seem stationary at room temperature go absolutely bonkers with just a slight heat increase. The faster they move, the higher the temperature. Next time your coffee gets cold, just remember those atoms decided to stop partying. Their energy is directly proportional to their chaos levels!

Chemistry pickup lines have reached Bikini Bottom! The joke here is a delicious play on electron orbitals. You see, dz² orbitals have a distinctive donut shape with two lobes—much like Squidward's anatomy! So when someone says they're "only into dz² orbitals," they're basically saying they have a thing for Squidward's body type. It's quantum attraction at its finest! Chemists everywhere are snorting into their Erlenmeyer flasks right now.

Chemistry jokes are so ionic ! This meme is pure genius—showing the acetate ion (CH3COO-) literally becoming more "stable" by losing the girl in the wheelchair and gaining a chloride ion (Cl-) instead. The professor who requested this clearly understands that nothing says "stable chemical bond" like pushing your friend off a cliff for a better ionic partner. That's just basic chemistry—emphasis on basic . Chemists don't make friends; they make stable compounds .
