power in terms of intermolecular forces

after break ups, or even before, someone in the relationship has the upper hand. i like to think of this power trip in terms of intermolecular forces, specifically induced dipole moments. an induced dipole moment involves the movement of electrons to another atom which in turn give that atom more electronegativity or negative charge. the atom from which the electrons came, is more positively charged or less electronegative as a result. the more positive electron is electron deficient, while the more negative electron is electron efficient. the electron efficient atom is happy, is smooth sailin', has the upper hand. while the electron deficient atom wants the electrons back, wants the power back. it will come back when another induced dipole ensues. the charges move randomly around the atoms. what a beautiful way to think of power. power is not tangible, not everlasting. its a phase and its a silly thing to thrive on because it changes with each rotation or stress or transformation. its such a shortlived process and a scary state of being because you are scared to lose it. you are scared to be wtihout control. you are scared to be instable. but being scared is normal. being electron deficient is normal. while it may not be an ideal state, it is a functional one and a humbling one. the greatest things to be learned are those things that happen on a molecular/atomic scale. this level of life is so small, but so telling.

if i were to be any atom i'd be francium - the least electronegative atom. the poor guy craves electrons, but hes still making it. while flourine, up there in the corner, is hoarding all the electronegative charge. what a whore. to have all the power is dangerous. thats probably why F can be so toxic in a halide reaction with alkenes (tangent).
