"Please pass the planet forming compound"

Well I've never asked for the salt by saying this at the dinner table, but hopefully the compound salt will obtain more recognition for its newly found qualities. In its sudden rise to fame, salt has punched and kicked in the face every chemistry textbook out there. And considering the surprising qualities salt is exhibiting under pressure which is supposedly beginning a "revolution in chemistry," it can do whatever it wants!

I mean, I can do amazing things under pressure too, so I don't understand why salt is getting so much attention!

By applying 200,000 atmospheres of pressure, scientists were able to form compounds which were thought to be impossible to form with salt and other common elements. This explains how unique compounds which formed our planet were made under 3,600,000 million atmospheres. These compounds,  NaCl3, NaCl7, Na3Cl2, Na2Cl, and Na3Cl, were not the expected result predicted with the rules of electronegativity. Electronegativity states the combination of these two elements would only form common rock salts. Yeah, I know several chemical formulas won't get the common person excited. Oh well! The formation of these new, "impossible" compounds even defies the octet rule! My entire chemistry class is a lie!

By observing this behavior of salt under pressure, scientists believe they can use a diamond anvil to compress salt and other substances into new materials with incredible qualities! So if I make clothes with these types of compounds, would my clothes be "impossible?" Also, scientists hope to learn more about Earth by knowing elements can exhibit extraordinary properties under certain circumstances.

These types of discoveries are crucial to science, for who ever thought the common table salt could be the metaphorical glue of these almost mythical compounds. The advancement of science is driven by this constant will to prove the impossible to be possible. This sounds like a excerpt from a motivational speech, but not really, it's just a plain fact! We might as well learn more about the formation of Earth also. Chemistry is the study of matter and how it reacts with other forms of matter. Since we're standing on the most obvious product of this, why not learn more about it?
