Hey Lithium Luke, I'm really lonely these days. I can't find a perfect bond!
Well, Sodium Salvador, I have a great friend who will bond with you! Her name is Chloride Christina
Li
Na
OF COURSE! Wait, don't you also have one valence electron?
OMG! PLEASE SHE SEEMS LIKE THE PERFECT BOND!
Alright, Sodium Salvador, but notice that she only dates elements with one valence electron. Can you do it?
...I won't comment on that..
Li
So, I heard that you need one more valence electron, and guess what? I'm the guy you're looking for! Ps. I'm a metal.
The next day...

Ionic Bond Buddies?
Yeah, ionic bond buddies. Ionic bonds mean that we give and take electrons to create a better shell!Our ship name would be Sodium Chloride.
Exactly! I'm a nonmetal and a halogen. That means we can be ionic bond buddies!
Cl
Nice! Could you possibly tell me what they are?
Na
So.. is there anything special about ionic bonding?
Yeah! There is many good thing we could do if we ionic bond!
Cl
Na
Wow sounds amazing is there anything else speical?
Well if we Ionically bond, we could do many great thing, like for example we are soluble in water,which means we could dissolve or melt faster than other bonds!
Yup, We could also conduct electricity once we dissolve but we will struggle a little if we are a solid.
Cl
Good, Ready for our Covalent Bond Date?
AMAZING! It's like were meant to bond together!
Na
Na
NOOO!!
I don't mind, I'm just ready to bond already, but are you ready?
O
Also one more thing if you want to know,if we bond then we'll become brittle, which is bad since we'll break easily but we can work it out
