positions of Electrons
• The exact position of the electrons in an atom cannot be determined. Electrons constantly move around the nucleus.
• However, each electron is usually in a certain area around the nucleus. Some are in areas close to the nucleus and some are in areas farther away.

Electrons and energy
• The areas in which electrons move around the nucleus are called energy levels.

Electrons and energy
• Different electrons in an atom have different amounts of energy.
• The amount of energy an electron has is related to its distance from the nucleus.
• Electrons closest to the nucleus are in the lowest energy level. These electrons have the least energy.
• Electrons farthest from the nucleus are in the highest energy level.

Electrons and energy
• The lowest energy level in the atom can hold only two electrons.
• The second energy level can hold up to eight electrons.

Electrons and bonding
• Like magnets, the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus of an atom.
• Electrons close to the nucleus have a strong attraction to it.

electron dot diagram• Notice that a neon atom, Ne,
has eight valence electrons. It has no unpaired dots.
• Atoms with eight valence electrons are chemically stable. They do not react easily with other atoms.
• Atoms with 1–7 valence electrons are chemically unstable. These atoms easily bond with other atoms and form compounds.

noble gases
• The elements in Group 18 are called noble gases. With the exception of helium, noble gases have eight valence electrons and are chemically stable.
• Stable atoms do not easily react, or form bonds, with other atoms.

stable and unstable atoms
• Atoms with unpaired dots in their electron dot diagrams are reactive, or chemically unstable.
• Nitrogen, for example, is reactive because it has three unpaired dots.
• Unstable atoms such as nitrogen become more stable by forming chemical bonds with other atoms.

stable and unstable atoms
• When an atom forms a bond, it gains, loses, or shares valence electrons with other atoms.
• By forming bonds, atoms become more chemically stable.
• Atoms are most stable with eight valence electrons. Therefore, atoms with less than eight valence electrons form bonds and become stable.
