Atoms react in order to achieve an octet in their outermost shell, either by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons with other atoms.
Atoms react with other atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration by either gaining, losing, or sharing electrons. This process allows them to attain a full outer electron shell, reducing overall energy.
