Sodium = extremely volatile and usually explosive metal when interacting with water (more than half of what makes us)
Chlorine = gas at room temperature that can kill you in minutes at concentrations of 1000ppm or more
Sodium + Chlorine = Sodium Chloride = delicious table salt that makes food yummy and helps power our neurons

Thinking about it, we work on a whole bunch of highly volatile chemicals bound to a bit less volatile ones for stability.
