    There’s really no such thing as a purely ionic bond. Even Cesium and Fluorine form bonds that have a non-zero amount of covalent character to them. Just like there’s no such thing as a naked proton in the liquid or solid phases.

    I sent this to my scientist as meme sharing love language and he’s gone on an enormous rant about how wrong it is. That’s the last time I try and share anything ionic. (Although apparently sharing ions is fine etc etc blah blahrant)

    Two hydrogen atoms sitting at a bar. One of them suddenly panics out loud - “Hey! I just lost an electron!”
    The anion next to him smiles at the hapless naked proton’s misfortune. He the one that done took it. Negative asshole that he is.
