You don't hear a lot of jokes, puns, or riddles in physics and biology, but chemistry is full of them. Here is a collection of reader-submitted chemistry jokes and puns. Some of them are groaners, but some are quite funny. You can read other jokes specific to certain topics, like Mole Day.

•    Two guys walk into a restaurant. One guy says "I would like some H2O." The other guy says "I would like some H2O too (H2O2)." The waiter delivers the drinks and the second guy dies after imbibing his. (H2O is water, while H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide.)

•    I told a chemistry joke ... There was no reaction.

•    Why are helium, curium, and barium the three main medical elements? If you can't curium or helium, you barium!

•    Are you hydrogen? Why? Because I can't live without you.

•    Are you 11 protons? 'Cause you are sodium fine.

•    What did the chemist say to motivate his team? We ARGON to BARIUM.
