The Noble Gas Betrayal
Chemistry students experiencing that periodic table trauma! The meme shows a chemistry test question asking about ionization energy, where someone answered "Oganesson" but the correct answer is "radon." The person's confident "WHY ARE YOU BOOING ME? I'M RIGHT" reaction is every chemistry student who's been betrayed by periodic trends. For the chemistry nerds: Xenon and radon are both in Group 18 (noble gases), and radon does have lower first ionization energy because as you move down a group, the valence electrons are farther from the nucleus and easier to remove. Oganesson is actually in Group 18 too, but it's way heavier than xenon, so the answer is doubly painful - technically wrong but conceptually on the right track!
