Some chemicals are very reactive. Others need the right conditions. You’re waiting for some free radical to come along, kick off a reaction, and somehow leave you with a stable bond.
Sure, that can happen randomly, but you improve your odds by getting compatible ingredients in the same place and supplying a little activation energy. You don’t have to force the chemistry—you just have to give it the conditions to happen.
If you keep everything sealed in separate bottles, your whole experiment depends on somebody accidentally knocking over the shelf.
You study chemistry at that school, right?
