But then we saw Oxygen getting together with Magnesium, and we were like, OMg Oxygen is cheating on Potassium! That is not OK!
But then when Nitrogen started flirting, Oxygen said NO.

Fluorine, Uranium, Carbon and Potassium went on a trip..
When they got lost everyone yelled FUCK!

Neon, be like...NyEt at all.

I understand the joke, but the chemist in me is like “that should be K2O and MgO” which or course wouldn’t work. When a metal and a non-metal become bonded, the metal gets named first.

Oxygen then turned around to see Potassium hand a KO to Magnesium
SoupeGoate22 t1_j4vfaxs wrote
The real knockout part of this is learning that it's actually KO.

But oxygen had a lot of fun as it was K2O

When hooking up with Potassium, Oxygen was down to Kiss 2 Orifices.

You can still have OK in a chemistry context though. In a carboxylate Potassium salt the end of the chain will be RCOOK

Who makes meals with carboxylate Potassium salt? RCOOK!

OK (or better, KO) could be an "average" formula for a 50/50 mix of K2O and KO2.
It wouldn't be the first time such a formula was used.
That said, I don't know enough to be sure that such a mix could exist. I'd guess not, and any attempt would maybe release a lot of oxygen if not explode.
Getting it wet definitely wouldn't be a good idea though.

What is the elemental composition of dogs?
Calcium, nitrogen, iodine and neon.
Cats?
Iron, lithium and neon.
Bears?
Bromine, uranium and indium. Exchanging indium with iodine and nitrogen will produce the desired product too.
People?
Hydrogen, oxygen and molybdenum.

Btw, shrodinger came up with this theory when he was just about to have sex .. he asked the lady how wet was she for which she replied "find out yourself" ... He then thought ... The Pussy(cat) on the inside can be either wet or dry as dead... I wont know till i find out ... But when I'm not inside what if it is both wet/alive and dry as dead

I'm pretty sure my chemistry professor used this exact joke when explaining how to order things in ionic compounds. So I guess the joke works when you're explaining how not to do it.
