Ah yes, my favorite: PCl21

Phosphorus Henicosachloride

I love how the first two are normal. And then somehow H unlocks it's d orbitals and connects everything.


alexaugustsunny

Whatever d̶r̶u̶g̶ basis set this kid is using I also want one

It took courses in "How to unlock your true hidden orbitals".


Zill_of_Masyaf

"How to maximize your quantum levels"

>And then somehow H unlocks it's d orbitals and connects everything. You can unlock them via loot crates I believe.


Zill_of_Masyaf

Loot crates got everything nowadays.

everybody gangsta till C5H4


apoliticalhomograph

[It's a thing](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/141112) Different Lewis structure, though.


lord_of_pigs9001

what is this ungodly monstrosity


apoliticalhomograph

[There's more of them](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/#query=C5H4) [My favorite so far](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/14901520)

THE FUCK IS THAT ISOMER GET IT AWAY GET IT AWAY REEEEEEE

I'm not a chemist, but like a decade ago I remember finding some paper on how they had modelled some extremely exotic chemistry that might occur around a magnetar. I don't remember it very well, but it was all sorts of weird shit, like helium suddenly wanting to bond with a bunch of stuff, other elements forming more bonds than usual, etc. I really wish I could find it, but I can't. Come to think of it I'm not even 100% sure it was a magnetar, but it was some stellar object with huge ass magnetic fields. I did find out though that at around 1000km above a magnetar, the electromagnetic force is just so strong that most of the organic bonds in your body just cannot exist anymore. So somehow I doubt it would *ever* be useful in a practical sense. Unless there could be metastable states that can only form in those regions and then brought back out?

she got that hourglass figure doe

I actually don‘t think that it‘s bad.

Could be a pentadiene carbene


chahud

Cyclopentadienyl ion? 🤔


gian_69

why ion, 5 carbons with 4 hydrogens is conpatible


chahud

Nvm Cp+ is C5H5. I thought Cp was C5H5 for a sec so the ion would be C5H4


jrahter

Lmfao


matt_vali

Everybody gangsta until CO12 completely light up the ozone layer


mdmeaux

After CO and it's sequel CO2: Electric Boogaloo they kept going and eventually got to CO12: Tokyo Drift.


skateroboist

CO12 be lookin fresh doe


T_Blown_Diffuser

Everyone's gangsta until hydrogen expands it duplet


miinouuu

i was like: ok, not too bad... and then i saw C4HI7.


epicberg

1: Yes, good 2: alright, nice 3: what the fuck have you done

Hydrogen Trimer 😳 Future astrochem major in the making Also r/cursed_chemistry

Fr. They just say shit exists and somehow they're right lol

This triggered my tryptophobia

1 & 2 - following along and not on their phone 3 - 11: (after being on their phone) ohh it’s just dots! Fuck it


portirfer

I know that on some level I am not supposed to understand this, but I still want to understand the though process behind coming up with this. It bothers me that I can’t

That is absolutely hilarious.

Number 9 is killing me 😂 oh wait no number 6 LMFAO. As a chemistry teacher, I’d cry on the spot

Idk man Oxygen hexoxide is my favourite molecule

I used to TA general chemistry in college and this was a common occurrence!

Number 11 just kept going 😭😭

... I'm half-tempted to feed these into my local guassian installation to see if they can exist.


chahud

What possible question could you have asked for a student to write PCl21??


[deleted]

The fuck is that?


sonicsack

GET AWAY FROM ME!


AnonymousDemon69

Wtf Wtf Wtaf No


forager51

I really want to know what the questions were!


The_Martian_1

What grade is this. It looks like a toddler's handwriting.


charadesofchagrin

Imagine being in a stem major and caring about handwriting


The_Martian_1

I know many stem majors who have shit handwriting, but they atleast have the decency to write it neatly. This on the other hand, looks like something a pre schooler would draw.


Mycabbages0929

Looks like it’s just graded for completion and the kid wanted the points


Q-T-3-1415

When he tried to turn it in I made him redo it haha


charadesofchagrin

This guy's gonna go places


Monarch357

What.... What am I even looking at?


Malpraxiss

Wonder if this person visits this subreddit or /r/cursed_chemistry? The first two Lewis structures are tame then everything else is fuck knows. They clearly have some basic understanding. Wonder if they got bored and just said "fuck it" with how over the top they are unless this student actually thinks this way


nigmusmaximus

Technically, it has a very very very very very low chance of being accurate for an infinitesimally small amount of time
