Oh, I want to ask folks here a question, in connection with a project I've been thinking about off and on the last few months. the question is...what do you think, in general, about the subject of #chemistry?
and I mean, _any_ thoughts at all. I want all the answer. think chemistry is the worst subject you had in school? let me know about it! do you think it's a dismal, second-rate science? that's cool too. if you think it's interesting chiefly because you get to set things on fire, I want to hear that as well :p

I think it's really funny, you can make every molecules possible an do everything you want. One other fun things about it is "mesomèrie" (i don't know the english word, sorry ^^" ), learning that everything is moving and not just statics is quite beautifull I think. Most of all, I love to learn new things and chemistry is one of the subjects i'm still learning at school as for now ^^ (and it gives me good marks °^° )
@Louise Oh! I believe that "mesomèrie" is likely equivalent to the English term "resonance", which has a rough synonym in the now obsolete term "mesomerism". So it would refer to the way in which the electron distribution of a molecule can be thought of as the combination of a number of different "resonant structures", e.g. in between these two structures for the nitrite ion, NO₂⁻ https://witches.town/media/1bHO1MNoLXOPlmPO0Hw
@kara_dreamer
That's it !!
Quite hard at the begining to learn but It's fun to know that everything is moving in the universe, event at atom scale :3
@Louise I think it's pretty fascinating stuff. that's all chemistry is, in way, the dance of electrons. (I feel that this very simple fact sometimes gets bizarrely obscured when chemistry gets taught)
