: Atoms share pairs of electrons to achieve stability (e.g., Oxygen and Hydrogen forming Water).

: The tendency of an atom to attract electrons increases as you move toward the top right (excluding noble gases).

: The energy required to remove an electron increases as you move toward the top right. Chemical Bonding

Each element is defined by its , which is the number of protons in its nucleus. This fundamental value determines the element's identity and its position in the periodic table. The chemistry of an element is primarily driven by its valence electrons —the electrons in the outermost shell—which dictate how it bonds with other atoms. Major Groups and Trends

: One atom "steals" electrons from another (e.g., Sodium and Chlorine forming Salt).

Elements are categorized into groups (columns) and periods (rows) that share similar characteristics:

Durgesh

Durgesh is passionate about history and storytelling and has always found meaning in exploring cultures and mountains through their tales. Over time, this love for discovery transformed into travel writing, where he blends heritage, adventure, and personal experience into engaging narratives. He believes every journey carries a story worth telling and aims to inspire readers to explore places with curiosity and depth. When not writing, Durgesh enjoys anime, often drawing inspiration from characters like Eren Yeager.
