The Reason We Call Him "YuCl"

In the previous post, giap chin mentioned that we called Mr. Yu "YuCl". But it seems like he forgot why we call him that. Actually, only Senior 5 Hope (year 2008) knows the secret of why we call him that (except giap chin la, haha)

Anyways, I'll clarify the reason why we call him that in this post (consider yourselves lucky)!

Here it goes:

Once upon a time, Mr. Yu was teaching us (Senior 5 Hope) the terrible chapter of salts in Chemistry. We were all pretty confused at first on what he was talking about, but we caught on soon enough.

As Mr Yu was explaining the Group 2 soluble salts, he used Cl as an anion in one of the examples of a soluble salt.

Suddenly, Edmund raised a question. This is how the conversation went:

Edmund: Why must use Cl?

Mr Yu: Har? What do you mean?

Edmund : Why use Cl?

Mr Yu: YuCl?

The whole class (including Mr Yu): *laughs loudly*

Ever since then, our class has called Mr Yu "YuCl". As a matter of fact, Mr Yu came up with the name himself. So, the credit goes to him. Now, you will be called that for the rest of your life.

So, for all those who don't know why we call him that (and giap chin), now you know.

I don't know if it is a nice name, but he came up with it himself, and now he will always be called "YuCl", haha!

I bet the structural formula of this "thing" (is it even a compound?) must be very very complex. :)

Yea, Ding Shen, it's extremely complex... We have to do a lot of research on it...
