Teacher drew a compound and asked us to identify it. It led off with a Flouride molecule, then a Propyl compound, then four human stick figures, and last, an ether compound. What was it?

A "Fluoride-propyl people ether"!

asks "How much for a beer?" The bartender says, "For you-no charge".

A physicist was reading a book about Helium and he couldn't put it down.

What was fed to the monkeys in the chem lab each day - BaNa2

If H20 is water, what is H204 - bathing, drinking, cleaning, washing, etc.

10. Two chemists walk into a bar...

First one says to the barkeep "I'll have a glass of H2O."
Second one laughs and says "That's great! I'll have a glass of H2O too!"

Of course, when he drinks it, he promptly dies.

God, that's an old chestnut.

Na - Sodium
Po - Polonium
Li - Lithium
Ta - Tantalum
No - Nobelium (this is a synthetic element, so nitrogen and oxygen would be more stable)
