The Molecular Transformation Of Celine Dion

The Molecular Transformation Of Celine Dion
The chemistry pun is strong with this one! The meme brilliantly transforms Celine Dion into "Celane Dione" with red lines representing a ketone (C=O bonds), then into "Celene Diol" with green lines showing hydroxyl groups (OH). It's basically what happens when organic chemists get bored on weekends and start seeing molecular structures everywhere. Whoever made this probably aced their functional groups quiz and then immediately used that knowledge for internet points instead of something useful. Peak scientific humor that would make your chemistry professor both proud and disappointed simultaneously.

Protecc That Functional Group

Protecc That Functional Group
The chemistry meme that organic chemists didn't know they needed! This brilliant play on the "he protecc, he attacc" meme format shows the lifecycle of a protecting group in organic synthesis. First, the ketone "attaccs" with its reactive carbonyl group. Then it "proteccs" by forming an acetal (that yellow highlighted structure). But what makes this chemistry truly beautiful? "He go bacc" - the protecting group can be removed when its job is done, returning the molecule to a modified form of its original state. It's like chemical bodyguards that know when to step aside. The perfect relationship doesn't exi— oh wait, it does, in organic synthesis!

Poly-Ketone vs Poultry-Cock-Tone

Poly-Ketone vs Poultry-Cock-Tone
Behold, the ultimate chemistry dad joke! The molecular structure on the left is polyacetone (or polyketo), which is technically a poly-ketone compound. And on the right? That's a poultry-cock-tone (rooster). Chemists everywhere are simultaneously groaning and sending this to their lab groups. It's the perfect example of how organic chemistry nomenclature can lead to unexpected wordplay. The corporate "they're the same picture" format just elevates the nerdiness to stratospheric levels.
