[This odd assortment of questions will appeal to those who love physics, chemistry, and the sciences. I may add a bit of explanation as deemed appropriate for those who might not see the clever humor, but the explanation is often longer than the joke itself.]
1. What did the science professor say when oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, sodium, and phosphorous walked into the lab?
“OH SNaP!”.
(If you combine the chemical symbols for Oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), sulfur (S), sodium (Na), and phosphorous (P), it spells “OH SNaP.”)
2. What should you do if no one laughs at your chemistry jokes?
Keep telling them until you get a reaction.
3. What if you fail when writing jokes about the periodic table?
You may not be in your element.
4, Did you hear the joke about cobalt, radon, and yttrium?
It was CoRnY.
(cobalt (Co), radon (Rn), and yttrium (Y) spell corny)
5. If someone throws sodium chloride at you, can they be arrested?
Perhaps. It is, after all, a salt.
6. What’s the difference between chemistry jokes and physics jokes?
Chemistry jokes can be funny periodically, but physics jokes have more potential.
7. Why did the attacking army use acid?
To neutralize the enemy’s base.
(Acid and base chemicals on the pH scale can cancel each other out)
Thinly sliced cabbage.
(There’s no real scientific law called Cole’s Law. This mixes chemistry jokes with good ol’ food puns)
9. What happens if you lower your body temperature to absolute zero?
You’ll be 0K.
(Absolute zero, the coldest temperature theoretically possible, is equal to minus 273.15 degrees Celsius and zero degrees Kelvin (written out as 0K)
10. Do you have any other chemistry jokes?
All the good ones argon.
