Science exam Memes

That moment when your chemistry knowledge gets hijacked by calendar trivia! Octasulfur (S 8 ) actually contains 8 sulfur atoms in a ring structure—not 10 because "octa" means eight in Greek. Confusing "octa" with "October" is the chemical equivalent of bringing a calendar to a molecular fight. The chemistry professor is somewhere having an existential crisis right now.

The universal gas constant R has more versions than a celebrity's plastic surgery! Chemistry students everywhere are breaking into cold sweats looking at this question. The correct answer? C: 8.314 J mol -1 K -1 - but only if you're using SI units like a civilized scientist. The other values are just R wearing different outfits for different unit systems. It's like the gas constant went to a costume party and nobody told the students there would be a quiz. The panic in that game show contestant's eyes perfectly captures the existential dread of every chemistry exam where you forgot which version of R to use. I still have nightmares about accidentally using atm instead of Pascals!

The number of electrons in an atom equals... the number of electrons. Revolutionary stuff. Next up: water is made of water. This is the kind of circular reasoning that makes my lab supervisor stare blankly into the abyss for hours. It's like asking how many fingers you have and triumphantly answering "the same number as my fingers." Pure tautological brilliance that deserves its own Nobel Prize category.
