Pyrotechnic Memes

The chemistry is undeniable! This meme perfectly captures the irresistible attraction between aluminum and iron oxide (with oxygen as the awkward middleman). When these elements meet, they form thermite—a pyrotechnic composition that burns at a scorching 2500°C and can literally melt through metal. The guy's wandering eye represents aluminum's electron-donating nature, always ready to ditch its current state for that hot oxidation reaction. Chemistry students know this reaction isn't just explosive—it's relationship-ending!
