Hard To Swallow Chemistry Truths
The top image shows a bottle of "Hard to swallow pills," while the bottom reveals the pills contain chemistry truths that shatter common oversimplifications. Sodium chloride (NaCl) isn't perfectly ionic - it's actually about 80% ionic with some covalent character. And PV=NRT (the ideal gas law) is just an approximation that falls apart under high pressure or low temperature conditions. Chemistry professors love presenting these simplified models before destroying your confidence with "but actually..." revelations later in your education. The real pill to swallow is that nearly everything in introductory chemistry is a convenient lie!
