Love is Chemistry

Yes, let the 'chemistry' begin. Chemistry can also taken as a metaphor for love. ALL kinds of love.

Love between a boy and a girl is like ionic bonding. One person COMPLETES the other. If one partner is sodium (Na) and the other is chlorine (Cl) then they are compatible, since one needs to gain electron and the other needs to lose one electron. However, at times it may seem they are compatible as one may need to gain 2 and the other to lose 3. But you will end up with one too many electrons (relationship issues) and it will go nowhere and you both will fail and the relationship will fail. In the same way if one needs to gain 2 electrons and the other needs to lose 1. The first person will feel something is missing and will 'break off' (break up) from the other electron. Those who are looking for a perfect guy or girl will never find one for them as the perfect partner has no problems and no needs and therefore is already compelte. For example Xenon, Neon, Helium, Argon. All these have a full outer shell and will NOT need you since they are already perfect and complete. Some people just don't understand this. Just because the perfect guy/girl does not work with you, does not mean they are not perfect. They are just as perfect as you are, except they are already complete and you've gotta find that special cation or anion to compelte you <3. Argon electrons are the singles that live their life single. Hehe....

Friendships are covalent. It is the sharing of electrons which represents having something in common, for example a hobby such as LANing or dancing or soccer, etc.
These mutual activites are the shared electron. You can have more than one friendship because you can share with more than one electron. You may get small peergroups such as Ozone which is like a friendship threesome or perhaps cyclohexane, a large friendship group. Maybe you even have such good friends they seem like family, these are diamond friendships. Not because they're valuable, no, even though they are. But they are diamond because:
-They are rare
-They are valuable
-They consist of a 'network' or friendships
-It is super strong
They may seem like family because of the strength but later I will explain what family relationships are really like.

Acquaintance are friends which aren't REALLY friends. That random classmate at school you say hi to maybe once a fortnight and have a small chat to occasionally. You're friendly with them but they're not close enough to REALLY call them your friend. These are dispersion forces. They occur between particles. Between atoms. They are not as strong as covalent and can break easier. Nevertheless they can hold together a substance quite well. The larger peergroups (hydrocarbon) are , the more acquaintances (dispersion forces) they have between other peergroups (neighbouring hydrocarbons). And the stronger the substance is in general. Social groups that consist of numerous small groups (methane) boil easier because the dispersion forces are weaker. However, with LARGE peergroups (octane) it takes alot more tention between friends/atoms before the substance will boil. Large peergroups easily form more acquaintance (dispersion) bonds with other peergroups, than smaller peergroups that tend to just hangout by themselves.

Hydrogen bonds are the bonds between a hydrogen atom and a nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine or chlorine atom. These bonds are covalent (friendship) and are the strongest because the hydrogen only have one friend. (nawwww =[) They get too attached to that one friend and seem to connect to that sole person only. That is why it is the strongest. Consequently the person with one friend (the hydrogen atom) tends to be weak in their personality and that is why they are so small. (hydrogen is the smallest atom). These bonds are super hard to break, but still possible.

Family relationships are like metallic bonds. The WHOLE family are close together and they share the delocalized electrons (food, money, water, shelter, house, etc)
When one family joins with another family it is called an alloy. These are not as metallic and familyish as the properties of the metals are not as significant. For example metals are malleable as in they can be shaped with a beating or rolling. This resembles a family being moved around or seperated with a beating or rolling (events such as financial difficulty) yet the family can still hang on. Families are lustrous as in they can be reflective and 'attractive' when freshly cut or polished. This means that families can be quite fun when everything is going well. When two or more families merge (alloys) this is rare and significantly reduces all the metallic properties. Metals have a high melting temperature and are hard to seperate. This is because it takes a LOT of tention to split up a family. Families are alot stronger than friendships and bf/gf relationships, etc. Families are also good conductors of electricity, meaning they can handle issues and tackle hurdles as a whole.

As a side note, ionic substances when dissolved in water can conduct electricity too =]. Work it out for yourself. ;D

I hope you enjoyed my metaphor on love. This is also my chemistry revision. Let's hope it improves my chemistry mark for my chemistry exam tomorrow. =D

Good luck to those doing their chemistry exam tomorrow,

Bye and hope my metaphor helped many, many, atoms. ;D
