My biggest bruh moment with chemistry in school was when we were doing some reactions with ammonia and one of the ways we could tell whether the reaction occurred was by smell. The instructor explicitly told us to do that that waving motion where you lightly blow it to your nose to smell it, so naturally 10 minutes in I forgot about it, opened my flask and took a good whiff of unreacted ammonia (because naturally I failed to produce the required reaction as well). It burned my nose and upper airways and I had a headache for the remainder of the day, and yet I didn't tell anyone about it because I was so embarrassed
I accidentally dumped some waste chemicals into the halogenated waste disposal in the fume hood.
The elemental forms of the halogens are all diatomic (two-atom) molecules e.g. F2 (gas), Cl2 (gas), Br2 (liquid), and I2 (volatile solid).
In their elemental forms, all of the halogens are toxic, strong oxidizers, and very chemically reactive. So nearly had a VERY bad hazard spill I'm much more careful now

Oh no.
I remember these spin occupancy bonding-antibonding diagrams from undergrad QM. I hate them and even now am not sure that I fully understand it
Kino channel though

Inorganic chem kicked my butt in school.

I'm really not good at all this chemistry stuff
