Solution Preview

Interesting assignment! I think the fact that your teacher wants a "story" leaves you a lot of room for creativity. There are several different ways you could go. I have given you a couple of ideas below that you might consider.

Option 1: Write from the perspective of being an electron. You could describe the element that you belong to and detail your journey as you meet up with other atoms of other elements and the bonding that takes place. For example, you could pretend you were an electron surrounding a hydrogen atom. Then you could write about running into another hydrogen atom ...
