The Table

Tune: El Paso
Words: Jesús Martinez GANAS

Out on the ends of the elements table
There’s give and take of electrons out there.
Some give them up, oxidize in the process,
Others accept them and become reduced .

Out at the right lies the Halide Cantina,
Group Seven Halogens practice their wi-i-i-i-les.
They’ll grab electrons from unwary metals,
Folks from the left that end up oxidized.

Now here’s the story of Sodium , bright metal,
Thought he was noble like Neon above.
He fell in love with a Chlorine , young lady,
Transferred his electron and made her chloride .

Soon he’s aware of Cesium ’s great attraction,
A fellow metal further down the li-i-i-i-ne.
Electropositive, greater attraction
Soon he’s reduced, he has lost his halide .

Listen all halogens, all you non-metals,
As well as metals from the other side.
Ionic bonds are so fickle in nature.
They make and break so let’s not get dissolved.

Now it’s the Octet Rule that makes you do this
To be reduced or to be oxidi-i-i-i-zed
Long for that look of a near, noble metal
End up attracted when transfers are made.
