Balancing equations Memes

Chemistry equations are all fun and games until they start defying mathematical logic! Our poor cartoon friend is having an existential crisis watching oxygen plus oxygen equal O2 (makes sense!), and carbon plus oxygen equal CO2 (still tracking!)... but then nitrogen plus hydrogen somehow equals NH3?! Welcome to the magical world of chemical balancing, where 1+1 sometimes equals 3, and your math brain short-circuits faster than sodium dropped in water! This is the moment every student realizes chemistry doesn't care about your arithmetic feelings. The laws of valence electrons and bonding laugh at your simple addition skills!
