Description For those who have not taken organic chemistry...there is no point in my trying to explain. Just know that a poor carbocation is about to undergo the last stage of a cruel and unusual reaction mechanism.

Possible subtitles:
"This is your brain on organic chemistry."
"When lewis bases attack."
"A tale of two ions."
"Alkylhalides of our lives."
"Substitution mechanisms in the city."
...ok I'll stop now.

I was debating whether to scrap this...it is a disgrace to my other watercolors but I guess I'll leave it where it is on the offchance that a fellow chemistry geek runs accross it. Yes, I think hexamethylchickenwire is funny too.

I have taken organic chemistry and I love your water color. I definitely love hexamethylchickenwire

my chemistry class discovered this picture today.

you made 25 IB Organic Chem high school juniors and seniors very happy today.

Haha, love the jokes and the pic.

You know you've been studying orgo too long when, to be politically correct, you've started referring to fat people as "sterically hindered."

Hilarious! I’m currently preparing for my exam in organic chemistry so this is especially appropriate. I wonder if I should draw something like this among the answers…

World of Goo!!!

I totally LOVE that game!

(Ok, maybe that's not what you had in mind, but that's definately the game!) WOG: [link]
(PC, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Wii. Best ten bucks you'll spend on a game this year!) LOL

OMG. This is hilarious. I'm taking organic chemistry right now, and all I ever think about is "Why are they attacking eachother?"

Molecules are violent.

Oh, reactive diatomic halogens. They'll react with anything will they? Go halogenation!
FAV'd.

LOL. I love how you make the bromine look all ferocious while the carbocation looks very clueless. XD Definitely an enjoyable Ochem art piece.

Haha!!! Such a cool pic, I love it! It's awesome how you combined art and science (and humor!) together into this picture. It's good you didn't put it in scraps.

ZOMG...this is sooooo cute!

I'm in organic chemistry right now (second semester...then I have the delightful experience of O. chem lab! Fantastic!)

Anyway...I really like the drawing...it's absolutly adorable!

Haha that's so cute! I can't understand it totally (having not taken O-Chem) but giving a face to the stuff that makes up that nastiness.. is awesome.

heheh I'm not sure what it is about some of the phrases from the class, but many of them are so weird they just lend themselves to that sort of silliness like the infanite number of mole jokes.

Oh goodness, I don't think I even want to know about the mole jokes.

Ha ha! I've taken Chemistry (not organic) but this made me bust up! I have a friend in Organic Chem right now, and she'll be gettin' this in an e-mail.

He he. Hey...I'm going into Paleontology and geology. Plenty of my brain cells are GONE from long (albeit interesting) lectures.
