Why get a tattoo of incorrectly nested tags? :)
That salt 'molecule' is totally wrong. It shows a chlorine atom sharing an electron with a sodium atom -- this is 'covalent' bonding. Sodium Chloride is ionic, the sodium atoms give their electrons to the chlorines, making them equally but oppositely charged. Also, Sodium Chloride tends not to exist as a single molecule but as a crystal lattice.
excellent! I love how knowledgeable our readers are. Well a prize* for anyone who can find a tattoo of a correct diagram of sodium chloride: either as a two oppositely charged ions or as a crystal lattice.
