Ethane's Descent Into Molecular Madness

Ethane's Descent Into Molecular Madness
The meme shows the chemical evolution of ethane into increasingly impossible structures! Regular ethane (C₂H₆) is a normal, happy molecule with its single bond between carbons. Then we have "cycloethane" - which would require bending carbon bonds into an impossibly strained ring. And finally "bicyclo[0.0.0]ethane" which is basically molecular fantasy fiction where the carbons are somehow triple-bonded AND in a ring structure simultaneously. It's like watching ethane descend into molecular madness! Chemistry students everywhere are having structural formula nightmares right now.
