 Sodium Princess and Chlorine Prince

Love Story between Sodium princess and Chlorine prince.

Once upon a time, there was a very memorable love story between the
beautiful Sodium princess and the talent Chlorine prince.

Sodium is the princess of Solid country which is far, far away from the
Gas country of Chlorine prince. However, they were very attracted by each
other because of the number of electrons they have in their outermost shells
and. Solid is a very poor country in the Alkali Earth Metal planet. Therefore,
the princess just has only 1 electron in her valence, but the prince of the rich
Gas country has 7 electrons. However, because of this opposite attraction,
their love became stronger every day.

Day by day, because her deep love toward the prince, the princess tried
her best to enrich herself to become a Gas citizen like the prince. She
converted herself to become gas citizen by using the equation: Na (solid) +
enough energy --> Na (gas)

After successfully became a Gas citizen, she tried to find her lover, the
Chlorine prince to marry with him. Unfortunately, they have to face with
one more problem. The prince has to take care of his twin little brother who
is Chlorine too, and these two Cl2 can't live without each other. So, the
prince had to add more energy to get apart from his brother and become an
independent Chlorine prince.

Difficulties didn’t stop. The prince had also to gain more energy to
become an ion like the princess so they can get marry.
After all, the Sodium princess and the Chlorine prince could get marry
happily and born their famous child name Sodium Chloride who has the
nick name is NaCl.

Answer the following questions

1. Who are the character in the story? Tell me about them.
2. Why they’re both attracted to each other?
3. How NaCl are being formed?
4. What Science Concept is the story about?
