Disassociation (salt in water)

by CynicalStrawberry

It's the start of the school year and everyone's milling about socializing Water particles Milling about forming and breaking hydrogen bonds There's a group of new kids, awkwardly standing off to the side A large crystal of salt is dumped among the water Some of the old kids start milling over pulling new kids into their friend groups The water starts bonding with individual ions of salt positive with negative negative with positive pulling them away to form bonds Eventually all the new kids are incorporated into friend groups The lattice of salt is broken apart ... And all the individual ions are surrounded by new friends Known as H2O
