An example of analogy used in popular science writing:
"Just as there are different types of relationships, there are also different types of bonds with varying properties. There are strong and weak bonds, temporary and permanent ones, some that are reliant on attraction and others that depend on a union of differences."
Dr Camilla Pang

(All chemical bonds depend on a balance of attractive and repulsive forces.)
