“Bonds of Chemistry”
In the lab, where the magic unfolds,
Molecules dancing, their stories untold.
Carbon’s the star, with its four little hands,
Building the chains, the rings, and the strands.
Hydrogen whispers, “I’m here by your side,”
Oxygen’s waiting, with electrons to hide.
Functional groups, they’re the life of the show,
Alcohols, ketones, and esters aglow.
Oh, the bonds that we make, the bonds that we break,
In the world of reactions, there’s so much at stake.
From the simplest alkane to the complex enzyme,
Organic chemistry’s rhythm, it’s perfectly timed.
It’s the bonds of chemistry, holding us tight,
Carbon and hydrogen, in the pale lab light.
From the double to the triple, the covalent embrace,
Organic chemistry’s beauty, we can’t replace.
Benzene rings spinning, a hexagonal dream,
Resonance humming, like a chemical stream.
Nucleophiles charging, electrophiles too,
SN1 or SN2, which path will they choose?
Aldehydes are shining, so sweet and so bright,
Redox reactions, they’re taking flight.
Polymer chains growing, like life in a thread,
From the smallest monomer, to the vastness ahead.
Oh, the bonds that we make, the bonds that we break,
In the world of reactions, there’s so much at stake.
From the simplest alkane to the complex enzyme,
Organic chemistry’s rhythm, it’s perfectly timed.
It’s the bonds of chemistry, holding us tight,
Carbon and hydrogen, in the pale lab light.
From the double to the triple, the covalent embrace,
Organic chemistry’s beauty, we can’t replace.
Stereochemistry, chiral and true,
Enantiomers spinning, in a mirror-like view.
R or S configuration, it’s all in the hands,
Nature’s own artistry, we’re starting to understand.
It’s the bonds of chemistry, holding us tight,
Carbon and hydrogen, in the pale lab light.
From the double to the triple, the covalent embrace,
Organic chemistry’s beauty, we can’t replace.
So here’s to the molecules, the reactions we see,
The endless connections in organic chemistry.
From the lab to the stars, it’s a journey so grand,
The bonds of chemistry, forever we’ll stand.
