That Kalium with two bonds tho

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 months ago

It has positive vibes.

Heads up, it's called 'Potassium' in English, even though I think the original Latin you used makes more sense

How in the name of fuck does one triple bond an Oxygen to a nitrogen while also having a bond to hydrogen?

And the same question, but for the Oxygen-nitrogen-potassium side

Blursed Potassium

[–] Lotarion@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

How do you even get two bonds out of potassium, doesn't it only have 1 electron on the outer ring?

[–] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

You get 2 bonds by drawing an impossible chemical structure in software

You just have to make it's partner atom extra sexy.
