Nonmetals, they fill out their outermost energy level by gaining electrons.

A periodic chemistry is a periodic table. A periodic table is a tab,e with atoms and elements. Whatever we eat or use have atoms or elements.
The period number is the same as the highest energy level containing electrons for the atoms in that period.
Electrons determine the ways in which atoms join together chemically, by forming bonds with other atoms. They also are carriers of electrical energy (current).
Atoms become positive ions when they lose an electron in a reaction. An electron is negative and a proton is positive, so when the atom loses an electron it will have more positive than negative, and the atom will be a positive ion. The atoms at the left of the periodic table usually lose electrons in reactions.
Group 17 elements, also known as halogens, give off the most energy when forming negative ions. This is because halogens have a high electron affinity, meaning they strongly attract additional electrons to achieve a stable electronic configuration.
The energy of a bubble is the cumulative energy of all the atoms forming the bubble.

The ionization energy of an element.
Bond forming releases energy. Atoms will begin with a high potential energy, and will bond with other atoms to form compounds which have a lower potential energy, and are therefore more stable. Bond breaking takes in energy i.e. energy is required to break bonds.
Elements on the right side of the periodic table require large amounts of energy to remove an electron from the outermost energy level of their atoms. It is much easier for them to gain rather than lose electrons.
Chemical changes involve breaking and forming of bonds between atoms. Chemical energy is required to break bonds. The formation of new bonds releases energy.
