It's crazy! How often my chemistry curriculum winds up sounding terribly romantic.
Take today for instance, "On the other hand, when strong bonds are formed, a lot of energy is released."
It's been like that throughout the entire course, usually when talking about chemical bonds.
And there's so much beauty in a Lewis structure, in looking at exactly how one element binds to another.
How can anyone look at the world around us, how can a high schooler taking chemistry, let alone a real scientist, say there is no God?
When there is order and beauty and romance to be found in this world, on an atomic level?
I'm just saying......
"So chemical equilibrium is a very interesting state. If you were to look only at the concentrations of the substances in the chemical equation, you would notice that their concentrations did not change. As a result, you might think that nothing is really happening in the reaction. However, if you were able to study the individual molecules involved, you would see that they would be reacting together like mad. Despite the fact that there is a lot of reacting going on, the amount of each substance does not change because every time a forward reaction occurs, a reverse reaction also occurs."
