"Hey Little Ions" originally performed by Drs Phil Bevilacqua and Tom Mallouk at Penn State To the tune & strum pattern of "Hey There Delilah" [Intro] C Em C Em [Verse 1]

^CHey, little ions, what's it ^Emlike in that solution? ^CDo you roll and tumble in a ^EmMaxwell-Boltzmann distribution? Yes you ^Amdo. ^FNo one makes ^Gbetter bonds than ^Amyou, I swear it's ^Gtrue

[Verse 2]

^CHey, little ions, do you ^Emmatch well in your sizes? ^CIf you both have lots of charge then pretty ^Emsoon you'll crystallize I just can't ^Amwait. ^FListen to my ^Gvoice and ^Amnucleate, precipi^Gtate

[Chorus]

^COh, reaction chemis^Amtry. ^COh, reaction chemis^Amtry ^COh, reaction chemis^Amtry. ^COh, reaction chemis^Amtry Reaction chemist^Cry.

[Verse 3]

^CHey, little ions, do you dis^Emsociate completely? ^CJust like hydrochloric acid, though there's ^Emsome that do it weakly And you'll ^Amfind, ^FWeak acids ^Gwouldn't leave behi^Amnd spectator ^Gions.

^CHey, little ions, though some^Emtimes I don't feel able ^CWhen I can't remember all the rules I ^Emlook up in the table It's the ^Amtruth. ^FNo other ^Gelements of your ^Amgroup resemble ^Gyou. (repeat G)

[Chorus]

^COh, reaction chemis^Amtry. ^COh, reaction chemis^Amtry ^COh, reaction chemis^Amtry. ^COh, reaction chemis^Amtry ^G

[Bridge]

^FAn element's activity will ^GTell you its proclivity ^CTo take and throw electrons all ^Amaway.

^FIf it can make a ligand bond ^GThe driving force will get so strong ^CA noble metal will not stay that ^Amway.

^FLittle ions, when we're through ^GLearning all the things you do ^CWe'll never look at chemistry the ^Amsame, And you're to ^Gblame.

[Verse 4]

^CHey, little ions, now we're ^Emlearning all your mysteries, ^CTwo more weeks until the third exam and ^Emthen this subject's history, It's ^Amtrue, ^FI'm getting ^Gsmarter about ^Amyou, ^FWe can make what^Gever we want ^Amto, ^FHey, little ^Gions, here's to ^Amyou, This one's for ^Gyou. (repeat G)

[Final Chorus]

^COh, reaction chemis^Amtry. ^COh, reaction chemis^Amtry ^COh, reaction chemis^Amtry. ^COh, reaction chemis^Amtry Reaction chemist^Cry. ^AmOhh^Chh^Am ^C ^Am ^C ^Am ^C ^C
