2. During ur modern history exam and how germany was under a blockade and then they lost...u think of the Haber process and his wife commiting suicide
3.U read a shampoo bottle understanding the citric acid and u forget what fruit essense means

  • You wish you were a chemistry nerd.
  • You realise you are a chemistry nerd and are thinking of how to become an even bigger chemistry nerd.
  • You are proud of being a chemistry nerd, and would wear a badge to show it off if you could.

- when you have an international ranking in chemistry ( this guy at my school is ranked 24th in the world, 1st in national science comp, 1st in chem comp )

- when you talk about everything in terms of electron transfer reactions and losing oxidation states

- when you can feel exothermic and endothermic

- when you help the lab assistants make molecular models during recess/lunch time

I want a badge now!!

-When you hear the word 'peptide' on television and immediately think of amino acids. And picture their structures in your mind.

-When you pick up a pen and wonder what the pattern would be if you used chromatography or electrophoresis.

-When you get first in chemistry

-when you talk to people about the differing densities of water and ice in terms of energy and the ice lattice structure

When the teacher asks "whats the proper definition for an acid" and you reply "an electron-pair acceptor" when the answer required was simply "proton donor"

When your opinion of a song dramatically increases because it has chemistry of some form in it.

No amount of persuasion from fellow band members could convince Freddie that singing to his beaker of 1M ethanoic acid wouldn't change its acid dissociation constant
