Cadmium Memes

The periodic table's group 12 family reunion is looking spicy! Dimethyl mercury and dimethyl cadmium are the terrifying older brothers who will literally kill you if you look at them wrong (one drop through gloves = game over). Meanwhile, dimethyl zinc is just happy to be included, blissfully unaware that it's still pyrophoric enough to spontaneously combust in air. Chemistry's perfect illustration of "dangerous, more dangerous, and derpy but will still burn your lab down." The glow-up from deadly neurotoxins to merely explosive is real!
