I assume it can't be done, but I'm not a hardware guy. So, can you use a 204-pin DDR3 ram chip meant for a laptop in a desktop motherboard that has 240-pin DDR3 slots?

No, you can't. It won't fit in.

However, you could use a 204-pin-to-240-pin adapter, which looks like this:

As a final note, make sure that the laptop RAM stick's clock speed is consistent with the rest of your sticks.
