Whether it was OCness or sheer boredom that drove Mendeleev to organize the elements in one spanking table, he sure did mankind (with the exception of high school juniors) a favor by doing what he did. Although Chemistry was never my favorite subject (I mean seriously, why can’t we just leave stoichiometry to the lab rats?), I have enough appreciation for its insane order at elemental level. Pun intended.
If everything were just as structured as putting 2 hydrogen molecules and 1 oxygen molecule to get agua, we’d all be coasting on calm waters. Put sodium and chlorine together, you get table salt. Put hydrogen and chlorine together, you get yourself a toilet bowl cleaner. You and I get along really well and our friends acknowledge our undeniable chemistry. But put you and me together, the compound is nothing your mind can wrap around. Whatever happened to Chemistry being an exact science? Where’s justice in that?
