Elemental Learning

(To the tune of “Sentimental Journey”) / Recording by Heather Boren and Eric Hill

Gonna do
Some elemental learning
Studying for my degree

Elevate
My supplemental earnings
With atomic chemistry

Learning ‘bout
The subatomic units
In an atom’s nucleus

Balance charge
With all of the electrons
Or an ion you’ll possess

Neutrons
They’re the chargeless bits in
Atoms
Protons sometimes wish they had ‘em
Gotta have an a-dequate supply
In nuclei

If you don’t
There’ll be a price for payin’
For the instability

‘Cuz you’ll get
The nucleus decaying
Radi-o-activity

Elemental Learning!
