My brother got me a chemistry joke book for Christmas, and I'm sure you'd love to hear some, #chemchat. Some of them are good, some of them are bad, some are silly, a couple are a bit off-colour 🙃

Maybe we should switch to German... bromieren, Silikat, ... 🤔
-ate is such a weird suffix in chemistry. Brominate is a verb but silicate is a noun. And oxygen is element eight. #chemchat
