‘Ball and stick’ animations of chemical reactions are useful in , but they can also reinforce the misconception of atoms ⚛️ as mostly unchanging bits of matter that merely swap bonding partners.

Watch the ‘texture’ (local curvature) of the computed total charge density ‘evolve’ as a water 💦 molecule dissociates ⬇️

OK, Mastodon: I'm compiling a list of illegal, silly and whimsical molecules (thank @sellathechemist for this).
And I need your help.
I'll start with the silliest named of the lot: arsole.
Yes: it really is a ring, and it probably smells quite bad too. No chemist has ever made pure arsole. But it's a safe bet that if they did, many will wish they hadn't)
More suggestions welcome!
