Elements can be found everywhere and in everything.

The very matter which we perceive with our senses consists of different elements. These elements individually combine with other elements to form numerous compounds.

Compounds again react with one another and form other compounds and that is how each object is created in this world. However, these elements are stacked together in a chart which is called the periodic table.

Each element based on their definite characteristics is assorted in different groups like 'Halogens', 'inert or Noble gases'.

Periodic table jokes and puns are a way of making chemistry interesting and funny. Chemistry jokes and chemistry puns can take time to understand but once people get a good grasp of the joke or banter, there is no turning back.

Every joke will seem funny, good and like it or not you will start to want more.

Good, funny chemistry puns are coming your way - so, keep your eye behind goggles, get your lab coats on and experience the dose of intoxicating humor coming your way. You can even keep a count on how many of these puns you can get instantly once you read them.
