Oxides Memes

Chemistry's most perfect personality chart! The three-headed dragon meme brilliantly captures nitrogen oxides' personalities. NO (nitric oxide) is the terrifying one that'll react with anything and cause inflammation in your body. NO 2 (nitrogen dioxide) is the angry middle child that turns your sky brown and makes city air smell like rage. Then there's N 2 O (nitrous oxide) - the derpy laughing gas that dentists use and people inhale at parties. Same chemical family, wildly different vibes. It's like nitrogen can't decide if it wants to kill you, pollute you, or make you giggle uncontrollably.
