What do you get by mixing Fluoride, Uranium, and Nihonium together? No, not a portal to another dimension; you get FUNh! Which is basically the same as your regular fun, but with a twist of alchemy. And, though one might argue, we think that anything with a twist of alchemy is, if not just a tiny bit more mysterious, then most likely double your regular funh. Thus, here we are, hoping to give you a couple of seam-splitting laughs with our compendium of chemistry jokes!
Scientifically speaking, these science jokes that you’re about to experiment with are very, very science-y. So science-y that you should go grab your periodic table of elements to get to the molecular level of these chemistry jokes. Although if your library is a real blunder on scientific literature, meaning missing Mister Mendeleev’s ingenious sheet, no worries - most of these jokes are graspable for those who only know NaCl and H2O, too! After all, we aren’t some monsters to put in our list jokes relatable only to professionals investigating the fields of quantum chemistry, organic chemistry, or, say, astrochemistry. Our only concern is to make you laugh at these hilarious jokes, not to get you all bewildered and befuddled!
But clever is as clever does, and we’re not here to slip onto the path of silly with our elongated talk - let’s skip straight to the hilarious jokes! You know where to find them; they are, as they will always be, just a neutron down below. While all of these smart jokes are positively charged, you are the one to decide which ones are the best by giving them your vote. Once you’ve satisfied your curious nature and all the jokes have been read, share this article with your colleagues, too!

In this cruel universe we call home there are many great evils looking to destroy are will, there are those who crush beauty, there are those who ruin all that we as a society will make. Yet when all hope seems lost real life heroes rise to triumph against the darkness. Even when tasks seem impossible to some they can be accomplished for all of humanity as one unified voice. I count myself as one of these immortals in time for having to read all of these.
