Covalent bond Memes

Forget everything you learned in Chemistry 101! Some genius has discovered the "JD Valence" electron—where instead of sharing electrons, carbon atoms now share facial hair and smirks. Four identical faces orbiting the carbon like it's happy hour at the periodic table. This is what happens when chemists work from home too long without supervision. Next thing you know, they'll be claiming whiskey is an essential element and hangovers are just failed bonding experiments.

The electron's ultimate betrayal! In the top panel, our little electron friend is reaching eagerly for oxygen, forming a nice covalent bond. But then fluorine shows up with its superior electronegativity and the electron can't resist - it's like watching your date abandon you for someone with a better credit score. That sweating electron knows exactly what it's doing - fluorine's electronegativity of 4.0 beats oxygen's measly 3.5 on the Pauling scale. It's basically the chemical equivalent of your friend ditching you for the cooler kid at the party. The title "Press O To Pay Respects" brilliantly references gaming culture while mourning oxygen's loss in this electron custody battle.
