Chemistry 102, Friday, Period 2
"You kids ready to learn?" James asked, kicking off class the right way. "Too bad, you're going to anyway." Oh, wait.
"If you're going to learn Chemistry, the first thing is to get familiar with your periodic table. I have to point out that I've spent countless minutes on the internet here confirming that this world sucks and is missing out on some of the best elements, like Vibranium and Adamantium, but hey, whatcha gonna do? Anyway, it saves you some hassle. Fewer things to learn the atomic weight of."
James handed out traditional periodic tables and before moving over to the larger periodic table at the front of the room. He took out a pointer and started jabbing at the table. "The rows are called periods. The columns are groups. The stupid shape is so that everything can be ranked in a reasonable order we call atomic numbers while being able to group together elements that share properties."
James then explained what the halogens and the noble gases were and how the first 118 elements on the table were natural while the rest were synthetic. And, truth be told, he sounded like somebody who knew what he was talking about, which may have been a surprise after last week.
"But let's be honest. You're here because some of these elements can blow crap up. It's not happening this week, but it will happen and you WILL like it," he said.
"Oh, and I don't know if anyone here comes from a world where all of this sounds like nonsense because you think the elements are wind, water, earth, air, and sometimes heart? Get your heads out of your asses and figure out what you're doing taking a science class, you hippie."
"Rest of the class period, get to know your periodic tables and maybe try to figure out what kind of stuff will explode when you combine them. If you let me know your guesses before you leave, I'll see what I can do about getting them for next week so we can see what happens."
