So my brain starts threatening to explode from trying to get the fucking chem inside.And what do I do?I decide to take a break and indulge in some (newly discovered,yay) HCL-fics-reading.And btw-the fifth pairing for that meme?Well Billy Tallent/Joe Dick,of course!*snort*
And soo,I find me a story -Neutron by Basingstoke (and yeah it's kinda duh,but I don't always read the titles all that carefully :P) and what I read?This!
There's two kinds of water: regular water and heavy water. Regular water is good old H2O, two hydrogens attached to an oxygen by a covalent bond, the whole making up this thing that can sometimes be a gas but prefers to hook up with its buddies and fall to the ground; then there's heavy water, which flows beneath the regular water, and it's just water with extra baggage. Your regular hydrogen isotope is called protium, because it's just one. One proton all by itself. But then you have deuterium, which is also hydrogen but the little proton has a buddy, a neutron; so it's two but it's still one. One atom. Two particles stuck together make one atom, and it's all hydrogen. Isn't that nice?
(There's a third kind of hydrogen called tritium, but it's radioactive. It has a half-life of twelve years. Two's buddies but three's a fucking crowd, and eventually that neutron and that proton gang up on the extra neutron and turf it out in a puff of gamma radiation.)
and so on and so on!*bangs head at the desk*Why is the freaking thing following me around!!?Argh!
Ok,now I'll read the story damn it.
Oh and I can't upload anything!!It was slow before but now I can't upload at all!I waited for more than half an hour and MU uploaded 425kb!
*breathes*Yes,yes,go back to the story and shut up,I know :P.
