Homolytic cleavage Memes

Politics might be divisive, but chemical bonds are downright radical . Here we have Pelosi performing the perfect demonstration of homolytic cleavage—taking a stable Cl₂ molecule and ripping it into two chlorine radicals, each with their own unpaired electron. Just like in chemistry, what was once a stable covalent bond is now two highly reactive entities ready to attack anything in their path. Those chlorine radicals will steal electrons faster than politicians make campaign promises. Chemistry doesn't care about your political party, but it does care about achieving a full octet.
