Chemistry students know the struggle! That panicked Plankton is exactly how reaction intermediates exist in the chemical world - frantically zigzagging, desperate to bond with literally anything because they're so electronically unstable. Meanwhile, the final product (Squidward) is just chilling with a smug face because he's achieved electronic stability and doesn't need to react anymore. Those reaction intermediates are the true chemical drama queens - existing for microseconds before transforming or decomposing. Next time your synthesis fails, just remember: your intermediates were probably having an existential crisis!
