Back And Forth
a: Electronegativity ~
b: a tug of war
What: "Electronegativity is like a tug of war game between two atoms. If you have one person on the side of the rope that is stronger than the other person, then that stronger person will tug harder pulling the other person in their direction. On the other hand, if you had two people of equal strength, then the rope would not shift in any one direction and stay in the in the same place. Like tug of war, if you have a stronger atom with a higher electronegativity, then it will be able to tug electrons in their direction."

Dating?
a: Electronegativity ~
b: dating
What: "Lithium, you have the highest electronegativity in our family. As we get older and bigger, our electronegativites decrease. Your father jokes around saying that electronegativity is like dating: the older you get, the less electrons want you" The link is to a kid's book on chemistry, of all things.

They Want It All And They Want It Now!
a: Electronegativity ~
b: a measure of electron selfishness
What: "Electronegativity is like a measure of electron selfishness: some elements cling so selfishly to their own electrons that they're unwilling to share them, not even with their identical neighbors-no conductance!"

a: Electronegativity ~
b: your ability to remove one piece of candy
What: "Electronegativity is like your ability to remove one piece of candy from a bag of candy." The ppt file has a discussion of some aspect of basic chemistry.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
