By now, you're probably starting to see how chemistry can change your view of the world. Chemistry explains everything you can see, how it looks, the way it feels, why it behaves the way it does, by describing everything that you can't see. It helps us understand the biggest stuff in the universe by helping us understand the tiniest. And that's why chemistry can be kind of hard to understand sometimes. Because we are, on a chemical scale, huge. Chemistry traffics in infinitesimal particles, but we are made of quadrillions of those things. They are the building blocks of mass; we are literally massive. So mass is how we massive beings tend to understand the world. In our day-to-day dealings with substances, we need to have some sense of how much of...
