Ionic Bonding Poem – a snippet of
chemical poetry
(anon Y11 student, Whitby
Community College, Oct 31st 2002)
How do I long for a full
outer shell!
being chlorine having
seven, is a horrid hell
but my name is sodium and
I have one spare!
I want to lose it, can we
not share?
No? for are we not a
perfect match
chuck it to me, I promise
to catch
then we can live our
separate ways
and live with full shells
to the end of our days!
and so our tale comes to
an end
as positive and negative
we shall remain friends
Granddaughter Baby Niamh at nearly 6 months
– first experiment in molecular modelling?
No teething dribbling on the structure please! The greatest chemistry of all
– the chemistry of life!
