Thank you We sneak hope you're in the mood for

00:04

a love story Don't worry there's not gonna be any

00:07

singing kissing or steamed up car windows of this tale

00:10

There is however going to be a good deal of

00:12

elemental romance though if you're turned off by that sort

00:15

of thing Well maybe just watch one of the matrix

00:17

movies after we're done to get it out of your

00:19

system Well sodium had always been something of a loner

00:23

when asked whether he wanted to end up with someone

00:25

one day you would typically reply Nah Instead he just

00:29

went about his business carrying around the one valence electron

00:33

in his outer sub shell and hardly looking for love

00:36

If anything he was more on lookout for excellent new

00:39

eateries He's a bit of a foodie but his life

00:42

changed one day well reading over the menu and a

00:44

new italian restaurant called the penny is mightier than the

00:47

sword fish He noticed another element reading over his shoulder

00:51

Her name was chlorine Well he was immediately drawn to

00:55

her Maybe it was her long flowing red locks Maybe

00:59

it was her flawless skin Or perhaps it was her

01:01

Stunning configuration of the electron Well no matter the reason

01:04

he knew they were destined teo you know look up

01:07

Fortunately chlorine felt it too as well as the seven

01:10

valence electrons in her outer sub shell which sodium might

01:14

have found a bit too forward under normal circumstances But

01:17

he was too smitten and it suddenly occurred to him

01:20

that between them they had a total of eight valence

01:23

electrons that glorious sweet spot that all elements drive for

01:27

all Together they could form an ionic bond that might

01:29

stand the test of time and not just any ionic

01:32

bond but a binary ionic booth compound made up of

01:35

exactly two elements who couldn't feel any more emotionally or

01:39

physically connected They wanted the world to know about their

01:42

new romance so they plastered signs all over town that

01:45

visually demonstrated the love they felt for one another It's

01:48

probably a bit much like fiercely but their heads were

01:52

so far in the clouds they couldn't care less if

01:54

anyone judge that is the story of sodium for okay

01:58

so there wasn't much conflict Spencer climatic action No wonder

02:01

hollywood hasn't bought our script Shame cape king hudson was 00:02:04.374 --> [endTime] born to play glory
