The Smallest One

a: Hydrogen ~
b: a ping pong ball

What: "The answer turns out to be quite simple. Hydrogen is the smallest atom in the world, so the hydrogen is like a ping pong ball. It's very small, and the rows of the metallic atoms are very big like basketballs. The ping pong ball can move in and out of the basketball lattice very easily."

Light And Sweet.....

a: Hydrogen bond ~
b: two people hugging

What: This is the association from the linked page. Ionic bonding is a lot more intense and the electrons go in just 1 direction and the energy it takes to break these bonds is very high. So if a hydrogen bond is like a hug an ionic bond is like sexual intercourse.

a: hydrogen bomb ~
b: a tiny star

What:

"Atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs are the two main kinds of nuclear weapons. The hydrogen bomb is far more powerful and destructive than the atomic bomb. The hydrogen bomb is like a tiny star. It works by the same process-the fusion of hydrogen atoms-that makes the Sun and other stars shine."
