Electrochemical Series

This conversation takes place in a certain place between two people (lovers), a girl and a boy;

Boy: What's wrong? I don't get it....why are you breaking up with me?
Girl: What can I say, there's just no chemistry bet...
Boy: What's with there's no chemistry, physics or add math ?! We're in a relationship! Not some pop quiz!!
Girl: Fine. I'll be honest, I'm seeing someone else.
Boy: o_O...Who? How? Why?
Girl: It's boy 2. He's just everything I wanted you to be...Sorry;p

Have you been in a relationship where you were cheated on or replaced by someone else? It does hurt doesn't it when the person you love leaves you for someone else, and when you demand for a reason all they can say is, 'There's just no chemistry'. It really pisses you off no?

Little did you know, it actually is chemistry! Some of you reading this, can understand the electrochemical series above, some of you don't. So for those of you who are still scratching your head, here's a quick chemistry lesson. On the left hand side are the positive ions, which are metals. There stronger metals are at the bottom getting weaker as the go higher.On the right hand side are the negative ions. NOW, here's the important part. There's something called,'metal displacement', where stronger metals replace the weaker ones. Now, let me give you a compound, NaCl also known as sodium chloride which is salt. Refer to the table to identify Na+ position. When NaCl is placed in a solution, CuSo4, copper (ii) sulphate solution. Refer to the table to identify Cu2+ position. Since, Cu2+ ion is lower than Na+ ion, copper (ii) ion is stronger than Sodium ion and is able to displace it forming CuCl2.

What's this got to do with relationships? Well, if you're being cheated on, it simply means the third person is 'stronger' than you, hence, replaces you! Well, this is just for fun, nothing serious.^^
