Q

Atoms tend to try to fill the outermost electron shell with maximum number of electrons by either:

A

Sharing electrons, excepting electrons, donating electron

When the outermost shell is filled the Adam is chemically stable. What outershell only partially filled the Atom is chemically unstable and tends to react with other Atom
