yes! more lol chem plz!
Indeed! Just make sure they’re correct… <_<
He should have a "everything went better than expected" face…
Study your "chem" please…
Hehehehe Hydrogen Flouride
Actually, they should be covalently bonded, and it would be Hydrogen Monofluoride, or, more accurately, Hydrofluoric Acid.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw this. Opposites attract.
Yeah good point. Covalent boding was always a bit of a pain.
wow congratulation, you can do high school level chemistry
wow congratulations, you can do elementary level sneering.
Seriously, if you want to attack someone that bad then the internet is the only place left for you — anonymity is the only friend you’ll ever have. >_>
This is obvious and blatant wizardry.
Why don’t they BOND EDAMIT
Better question is why is there a single H atom? Hydrogen is diatomic.
-chem major
Good catch sir. Fluorine is too though.
I allways though F was Iron, like “Ferrum”.
Iron’s Fe =3= indeed of ferrum, as you say.
Nice catch! But after working on chemistry homework for about 6 hours, this still made me lol even though slightly wrong XD

Ever heard of free radicals? Mr “Chem Major”….
Well technically these would both have to be radicals since they do not satisfy the octet rule as they have been drawn. In any case, there is no way you would be able to make HF like that, it’s too unstable. From memory it’s made by reaction CaF2 and an acid such as H2SO4.
So nice try, Frank. For future reference though, before you starting being a pretentious, all-knowing a**, I suggest you read up a little.
I love the face in the second panel.
Don’t worry H+. You’ll be much more stable without that electron.
lul
He’ll become a more positive atom!
*cue pun chain*
No.
Lol pwnt
Curses! You win this time!
*disappears in puff of smoke*
Actually, in atoms, because one of the atom will get a positive charge, and the other atom a negative charge, they will be sucked together. This way, the “troll atom” will not be able to escape, and the other atom will not end up alone, but with another atom. So it will actually get company, not end up alone.
And they mucked up Fluorine’s electron shells.
Oh, and it would be H+, because it now has a charge of +1, and F-
Thats what it shows..
MADE YOU LOOK!
owned
But it’s still further from the electrons than it once was. It’s more like someone pathetic who doesn’t get all the snide comments one makes cause one and one’s friends make don’t quite hate him to just tell him to piss off.
Yes, but what I said was: THAT LAST PICTURE WAS WRONG!
Hello brother : P It seems that i found your account xD
True. It would have been better it was was chlorine and hydrogen in an aqueous solution. Then it would have worked.
Technically hydrogen and fluorine would create a molecular compound, sharing electrons, because they are both non-metals. Also because the bond is so strong.
This is not a molecular compound, it’s ionic.
But it’s not supposed to be ionic.
Funniest thing I’ve seen on this site recently
Forever Ion
OleJ96 is absolutely right. As there is no water (or other solvent) shown, we cannot say that ions actually form.
Also I’ve seen this before. Ducking picture stealer.
Ai ir dar nx eik
You jerk, fluorine!
Yeah, it would create an ionic bond. So Hydrogen would be “alone” without an electron, but it would be stuck to Fluorine…so it would have a buddy ion to hang out with.
Ironically, he’s looks more negative than positive.
Win above me.
Well, at least he’s positive about being alone.
Isn’t it Fl-, or is that just the german/euopean table of elements?
Quite possibly just the European version, the US version I know has F, Cl, Br, and I as the halogens.
there is no such thing as an european or an us version of the PSE and in addition there is also no element with Fl as abbreveation. Fluor is F.
Problem, Hydrogen?
electrons are such sloots! Problem?
I’m enjoying all the academic memes we’ve had recently.
can some one explain this to an idiot? I get that it’s atom but I don’t know what the letters mean, and in chemistry does F really steal from H and is H+ really alone?
i find your lack of chemistry knowledge disturbing…..
http://www.rsc.org/images/Why_do_hydrogen_and_fluorine_react_tcm18-189332.pdf
Well, this comic is not really the way it works, but it’s funny anyways. What’s going on is that H has 1 electron in its outer shell and F has 7 electrons in its outer shell. Most atoms can hold 8 electrons in their outer shells, and that is an extraordinarily stable state. (Which is why the Noble gases He, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn are almost completely unreactive.)
So, since H wants to get rid of its “extra” electron and F wants one more to make an octet (a full set of 8), F “takes” the electron from H and they form an ionic bond (where the electrons are transferred between the atoms instead of shared). Thus, the forever alone part of this comic isn’t legit since the H and F would be bonded, but it’s ok
-a chem major
Not quite. H is Hydrogen, and F is Florine. Hydrogen has 1 electron and Florine has 7. 2 and 8 (among others) are magic numbers in chemistry, and Florine wants to have 8 electrons to complete its outer shell. Hydrogen wants to either eliminate an electron or gain one, to get the magic numbers of zero or two.
Normally in real life, Florine and Hydrogen are a match made in heaven: Hydrogen wants to give away an electron, and Florine wants to gain one. They come in contact and the electron passes over. Because an electric charge is changing owners, the Florine becomes negatively charged from the new electron, and the hydrogen becomes positively charged from the electron’s absense. This makes the little buggers stick like glue and it’s a pretty effective bond. They are gonna be BEST PALS whether they like it or not.
However, in this scenario, Troll Florine has decided to be a bastard about it and run off with the electron, abandoning the Hydrogen atom and probably violating the laws of physics in the process, which is very much like Troll Guy.
I’m sure people will race to correct me wherever I might be wrong — been a while since I was in a chemistry class. Correcting with maturely is the trick that so few have mastered.
BTW, the reason the atoms stick together is because their new-found opposing charges draw them together, similar to magnets but using electrostatic fields (?) instead of magnetic fields.
Those buggers are going to stick together harder than two magnets in the ravenous thick of magnet mating season. Nobody walks away.
Pro tip: Don’t sleep in class and you might learn something.
Chemistry FAIL. Seriously! Hydrofluoric acid is a WEAK ACID. H and F form covalent bonds predominantly and only dissociate slightly. Hydrochloric acid, on the other hand, is strong.
Also, Hydrogen and Fluorine are binary molecules, but hey, that’ll destroy the joke
.
But it is Troll Fluorine… he is supposed to break laws because he is a troll…
This is exactly what I’m learning in school right now!
Wow, TROLLED big-time. Everybody knows the site we’re on, right? D:
Yeah i got trolled. ppft… Getting upset cause HF is really a covalent bond not ionic. meme trolls are good O.O
Flourine and Hydrogen are both diatomic.. but I love the chem joke.
Fluorine should’ve used a magnet to steal that electron.
Forever proton
Somebody should do a forever alone comic about the Dark Era that according to some cosmological theories will start in 10^100 years . It will be a spooky scenery. Thank God no entities and even no particles will be around to observe that desolate universe. Wait, there can hardly be a god to thank if these theories are true… Thinking about it makes me so nihilistic…
Peoples panties in a wad over a chem joke on a trolling website?
Classic.
flouride is such a douch
the caption should be Electrollnegativity
Well if i remember right, Fluorine wouldn’t covalently bond. It’s strongly electronegative and would just take hydrogen’s electron. Making it hydrofluoric acid ^_^. Hydrofluoric acid also kills the %(#$ out of people.
I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD!!!
Aww, stay positive little H.
lol
Nice to see all the other chem majors avoiding their organic homework, just like me
Lol this makes chemistry so much easier for me to remember – and iv got a test next week :O
Ahh electron displacements… I still remember this when I was studying chemistry…
Well…. At least he’s staying positive.
