   If you keep it to atoms made of nuclei and electrons, without going into   
   the quantum physics but with a little electron cloud handwavium, it can   
   be fairly understandable. But often l o o o o n n g, especially if you

   I practice trying to make tech understandable but I've given up on trying to   
   simplify the thermodynamics of reactions or solubility enough to explain why   
   they go the sometimes non-intuitive ways they do, entropy in particular.
