I've never really understood how that works. Chemistry wasn't my best subject in high school, and it's been over a decade since then for me.

Funny thing is, it's the more technical explanation you gave that helped me understand it better. Like, it clicked with me when I visualized molecular cages wrapping around other molecules. :D

I am happy that my undergrad degree in chemistry is helpful somehow :) I have found that often stem people underestimate how much others can understand.
