F-Bond
The other day, I went to see
A friend, who does research in Chemistry.
After the usual, “How do you do? ”
I said, “I have a question for you –
Can you name the bond
Which is the strongest of all those found? ”
She laughed, “Are you kidding?
That’s the simplest question in Chemical Bonding!
It is known the whole world round
That ionic is the strongest bond to be found.”
Woefully nodding my head I said,
“You are wrong, I am afraid.
Compare all the data, fresh and latest
F-bond is stronger than the rest.”
”F-bond? ”, She jumped off her chair
And gave me a confused glare.
“Yes, F-bond”, I replied.
“What’s that? ”, She cried.
“What’s it’s length and strength....?
And what about it’s existence....? ”
“To digest the information I am going to impart,
Put aside your brain and apply your heart.
It’s bond length and bond energy –
Both tend to infinity.
It’s full name is “Friendship Bond” and you see,
It exists between you and me.”
