The title makes a lot more sense if you understand that it should be "loose", not "lose".

Chlorine readily lets sodium loose when it’s in water. I get what you’re trying to meme but it doesn’t make chemistry sense. The exact opposite of what’s picture happens in reality.

Hey, come on. It's just a joke meme. Why're you being so salty?

Yea, I thought about that. If you think Sodium goes to town with water, imagine what would happen if thrown in a cloud of Chlorine :D

I believe that’s a method of sanitizing water, also why some water treatment plants have chlorine gas cylinders.

Hahaha, he's so deadpan, I love it :D

We need an accurate version, the sodium could be throwing a rock or something - an electron - at water, and the clorine is like "I'll be taking that thx" zoink

Sodium should say "Let's go bang!"
