Atoms react with other atoms to achieve an octet in their outermost shell, influencing their chemical reactivity and bonding behavior.
The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with eight electrons in their outermost shell. This drive for stability influences an atom’s chemical reactivity.
