Hey Chloride! I heard that you need an electron. I'm here to make a bond with you if you don't mind!
Chloride ClNon-metal
Hey! Yes of course we could make a bond. Please sit down

I'm glad that I found you! By the way my name is Sodium and I'm a metal. What about you?
Since you are metal, we only can be ionic bond friends because I'm a non-metal!
Chloride ClNon-metal
Ionic bond friends? So we can't be a covalent couple?
Since you and I aren't similar and came from different places, we can only give and take elections and nothing else. If you would be a non-metal like me we could share a bond together and be a covalent couple!

Hey Chloride who is this dude?

Look Sodium, thank you so much for giving me an electron and I'm glad that became ionic bond buddies because of it, but I don't think we could make a covalent couple since I make a bond with non-metals only
