Carbon gets the spotlight while everything else is just supporting cast in the organic chemistry show! 🌟
This hilariously accurate take shows how organic chemists basically worship carbon ("Need these to live") while relegating transition metals to mere "Catalysts I use to do real chemistry." Meanwhile, the noble gases? Just "Ignore these elements." The bottom rows? "Who cares" and "Weird."
It's the perfect representation of tunnel vision in science! While inorganic chemists are sobbing in the corner, organic chemists are busy drawing hexagons and only acknowledging other elements when they need to make their precious carbon compounds react. The periodic table might have 118 elements, but to an organic chemist, it's basically "Carbon and friends." 😂
