A Pure substance love story

Once, on a bright sunny day, Element Oxygen went shopping in a nearby supermarket. Similar
to the other 118 elements of the periodic table, Oxygen kept his pureness. Unexpectedly he was
attracted by another element in the supermarket and couldnt resist the beauty and pureness of
the other element. Therefore, he decided to approach her.
Hi, charming beauty, pure princess! I am Oxygen and am made of one single type of atom. I
therefore, belong to the pure substance family, the family that is made of up of one type of
particle which cannot be separated by physical means, such as, filtration, evaporation, distillation
or chromatography. My pure substance family is grouped in two, the element family and the
compound family. With pride I reiterate to you that I belong to the element family.
The other element interestingly listened to Oxygen and said, Hi! Oxygen, its quite a pleasure to
meet you. I am Hydrogen, the first element of the periodic table and am made of one single type
of atom. I possess qualities similar to yours and pertain to the element family too. We are the
type of elements that are not contaminated by other substances, nonetheless our atoms can
chemically combine with other elements atoms to form a compound element, yet, keeping our
pure identity as pure substances.
That is really great news to hear that you relate to my group of pure substances, dear beauty,
remarked Hydrogen. Do you accept to chemically bond with me and become a compound
forever? Asked Oxygen.
I do accept my super-element, Hydrogen replied without hesitation.
Not so long after, a great nuptial feast was organized and all the other elements and compound
elements witnessed the chemical bond of Hydrogen and Oxygen. However, something
mysteriously and majestically happened that day. To Oxygens surprise instead of one Hydrogen
atom, two Hydrogen atoms chemically bonded and ever since, they bonded to form the
compound element, water.
