The World of Chemistry

I hated chemistry back in the day. Protons? Neutrons? Electrons? Atoms? The only atom Adam I ever concerned myself with was tall, dark, and precociously scruffy. Someone picked up on these hormonal high-school obsessions and put the chemistry back in chemistry. Who knew an atom was one big orgy fun zone? And when hydrogen is around, carbon is a bona-fide sex god? Or that water hates potassium — for really immature, undisclosed reasons. (An unrequited crush maybe?)
