Chemistry is weird
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
It is the other way round though isn't it?
Sodium Chloride is just chilling as a rock or in suspension and then humans put a lot of energy into it, so it is forced to separate. Imagine you and your spouse being torn apart with a lot of violence.
Of course you get traumatized and act out until you get reunited and have some time to become chill again.
Finally someone that respects that marriage is about the bond between an alkali and a halogen, and should not be separated.
Ionic bonded compounds such as NaCl, when in water, interact with other ions around them.
Even other Na^+^ and Cl^-^ ions...
Which is why I don't drink water. It's satanic.
