Reviewing for the mid-term: a recap

Chances are, you’re not like me: you cringe when someone says the word “chemistry.” Your memory of it vaguely harkens back to an undergrad class whose knowledge you flushed once you finished the final. That’s okay — my goal for this series is to change that paradigm, make it understandable to all, and provide some entertainment.
We’ve covered quite a bit of chemistry history (an we haven’t even gotten to the periodic table, subatomic particles — a whole bunch of stuff!), so I figured it would be a good time to conduct a quick review of where we’ve been.
