Sodium = extremely volatile and usually explosive metal when interacting with water (more than half of what makes us) Chlorine = gas at room temperature that can kill you in minutes at concentrations of 1000ppm or more Sodium + Chlorine = Sodium Chloride = delicious table salt that makes food yummy and helps power our neuronsThinking about it, we work on a whole bunch of highly volatile chemicals bound to a bit less volatile ones for stability.We’re biochemical foundries. It’s pretty damn cool.
