Why Atoms Interact
The shell model of electron orbitals diagrams electron vacancies; filled from inside outFirst shell: one orbital (2 electrons)
Second shell: four orbitals (8 electrons)
Third shell: four orbitals (8 electrons)
Atoms with vacancies in their outer shell tend to give up, acquire, or share electrons

Elements & Their Valence Shells
Elements in the same row have the same number of shells
Moving from left to right, each element has a sequential addition of electrons (& protons)

Chemical Reactivity
Atoms tend to either:1. Complete a partially filled valence shell
-or-
1. Empty a partially filled valence shell

This tendency drives chemical reactions…
and creates bonds
