Sn2 reaction Memes

Chemistry nerds unite! This meme perfectly captures the chaotic energy of SN2 reactions where nucleophiles sneak up behind leaving groups like they're about to cause some molecular drama! The well-dressed halogen (front) is about to get kicked out of the reaction, while the wild-looking nucleophile (behind) is charging in for the backside attack. Just like in real SN2 reactions, that nucleophile is coming in hot from the opposite side, ready to flip that molecule's stereochemistry upside down. The formal attire really sells it - because even when you're getting displaced from a carbon atom, you gotta look professional about it!

Chemistry nerds unite! This meme brilliantly captures the SN2 reaction mechanism with cats! In organic chemistry, an SN2 reaction involves a nucleophile (the spotted cat) attacking a substrate (the fluffy cat) from behind in a single step. The "Suddenly from behind!!" caption is perfect because SN2 reactions are characterized by this backside attack, where the nucleophile swoops in from the opposite side of the leaving group. The wide-eyed expression of the substrate cat perfectly captures that moment of electron displacement! Next time your professor talks about inversion of stereochemistry, just picture this ambush!
