Halogenation Memes

Chemistry professors just found their new favorite teaching aid! The meme brilliantly depicts a halogenation substitution reaction where methane (CH₄) reacts with chlorine (Cl₂) to form chloromethane (CH₃Cl) and hydrogen chloride (HCl). But the real genius? The reactants swap their hair colors just like the atoms swap positions in the reaction! The hydrogen from methane gets replaced by chlorine, and simultaneously, their hairstyles undergo the same transformation. Free radical chemistry has never been this entertaining—who knew electron transfer could be explained with a makeover?
