I’m not the greatest at organic chemistry.. nor physical chemistry. But you know what my greatest skill is? Remembering silly element fun facts, like why bismuth grows square rainbow crystals or what the rarest naturally occurring element on earth is. (It’s astatine)

How I expect the peer review process to go once I get there: Reviewer 1: nice work here’s lots of helpful feedback to improve Reviewer 2: this is poop. An actual turd. Rejected. I hereby banish you from science. Reviewer 3: nice work here’s lots of helpful feedback to improve

if i was a star war i would be this type of star war. thank you

Yes! You should absolutely drink the beaker of potassium dichromate. This is a crystal clear sign that— you’re not just an innovator— but a visionary— and honestly? That’s untapped genius in a flask.

Dr. Bea Ker: Earl! EARL! Put the mercury (II) fulmate down! This is a huge overreaction! Dr. Earl N. Meyer: I’m about to synthesize 100% yield 9,10-FUCYOUAL Dr. Polly Esther: would you like some nice fabric

Honestly thermodynamics questions would be way more fun if they were written like: “You are stranded on exoplanet HD 80606b, six hours before the planet reaches perihelion. Calculate the heat required to melt the hull, melting point = XYZ.” See then thermo becomes sci fi survival horror.

If you ATE an acid, it would be ICk. SulfATE ion + hydrogen = SulfurIC acid If you fITE an acid, it would not end well for OUS. SulfITE ion + hydrogen = SulfurOUS acid However, if you ate acetic acid it would not be ick, as it is delicious on potato chips (yummy vinegar 🤤)

Sorry about that. A cyborg looking thing emerged from a mysterious shimmering light and took my phone. Idk what they’re on about because atoms aren’t actually real, therefore unicorns can’t be either. Posts will resume as per usual.

Hi. I’m a time traveler from the future, just letting you know that in the future, physicists will discover that electrons are actually tiny magical unicorns running around atoms and the quantum stuff is their unicorn magic. Also NMR splitting is caused by how much neighing the unicorns are doing.

Calculate the change in entropy when ice reaches a temperature of 200 degrees. Physical chemistry is such bs. What do you mean it’s not melting at 200 FRICKING DEGREES. Is this a cold day on Gliese 436 b?

I like how INTJ is literally just: you’re a Redditor

I am tired of being locked in, I need some time to be geeked

I hate the 16 personalities test man I just want to get this dumb class done this is just corporate astrology 😭

For context, that's a typical size of a jurassic pterosaur (juvenile) found in the fossil record

The smallest bat in North America is the canyon bat (Parastrellus hesperus), also called the western pipistrelle or American parastrelle. They weigh about 3–6 grams, the weight of a US penny, sheet of paper, or teaspoon of sugar. In flight, they're sometimes confused for moths or butterflies.

Ethidium bromide: what a nice DNA structure. I think I’ll move in. Don’t mind if I do. 🏠

IT’S FLAT FUCK FRIDAY!!!!!!!

anyone else feel like this

Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane

Dopamine structure tattoo: cliche, overrated Organic reaction mechanisms (SN1, SN2, all the hits): goated, will never fail an orgo test again (unless prof makes you wear long sleeves)

Full tattoo sleeve that is all of the pchem equations. Just derivations everywhere

This is hexane. A terribly explosive molecular worm. It’s like if benzene wasn’t a ring, but a string. I’d still rather work with the hex rather than the ‘zene. Ol’ Benny likes to become all sorts of wacky chemicals in the liver and is significantly more dangerous

Guten Morgen ☕

When you have a huge test coming up but the mandatory 1 credit hour annoying writing class that makes you take bs corporate “personality tests” springs a tedious surprise assignment (essay of course) on you that’s due the same day as the test so it eats precious study time

Sulfur is such an awesome element… it’s so pretty and vividly yellow, makes nice crystals, sulfuric acid lakes are turquoise and blue, it burns a royal blue flame. (Though I think my opinion would change if I had to work with thiols). It’s in a lot of bad smells, but also a lot of delicious flavors.

Beware the amalgamation of discarded veins and blood clots congealing within the recesses of the biohazard bags, for it roams the sterile halls of this structure, thirsting, seeking to meld itself to the circulatory systems of the unsuspecting.

Which functional group in orgo is the coolest one, I think it’s the aldehydes. They just have that vibe.

Good morning, team. We have 3.5 days until Drexel closes the Academy of Natural Sciences. It’s time for you- yeah YOU- to make some calls. Step 1: Tell the following people we need help pressuring Drexel to keep the museum open: Josh Shaprio 717-787-2500 Mayor Parker's 215-686-2181
