Growing up watching Curious George, it was no astonishment that I was indeed just as curious as George himself. Since the age of five, I’ve been amazed by chemistry (and I didn’t even know what it was). This included everything from why oil and water never mixed together to where my water disappeared to after being unattended. While the interactions of polar and nonpolar molecules drew my attention, I wanted to learn more about how molecules interact with each other, so I joined the AP Chemistry…
