He didn't react. There was no reaction. I said 'I guess it didn't get a reaction' and he groaned so hard. Mission accomplished.

Ha! At least you got a reaction the second time around. I tried explaining the periodic table to my daughter and she just stared at me like I'd grown a second head. No pun, no groan, just disappointment.
The delayed reaction into the groan is peak dad joke execution. He was processing it and then realized what you did. That's how you know you got him.
I respect a good chemistry joke even if the reaction is slow. Science humor is underrated.
This is peak dad humor. The groaning after you explained the joke IS the win. That's the moment you know you've succeeded.

The chemistry joke setup and then the meta joke about no reaction is actually genius. Your kid definitely heard that and is probably using it on his friends at school right now.
