Atoms are not sentient. They undergo chemical bonding and chemical reactions in order to have lower energy, which makes them stable. Typically this means either sharing electrons to get an octet of electrons, or transferring electrons so they get an octet of electrons. This is not a conscious decision on their part.
What else can I help you with?
How does a atom become stable?
When the atom has 8 valence electrons.
Would a chlorine atom lose electrons or gain electrons to become an atom?
A chlorine atom would gain one electron to become an ion because it tends to achieve a stable electron configuration by having a full outer shell of electrons.
How many electrons would an atom of magnesium have to lose to have a stable octe?
It'll have to lose two to have a stable octet.
To become stable an atom will always attemp to fill it's?
Nucleous
How many covalent bonds can a carbon atom from to become stable?
4
What is The loss of a particle as an atom tries to become stable called?
isotope
Does cl gain or lose to become more stable?
to become stable, it will gain an electron from a metallic atom otherwise it will mutually share electron(s) with another non - metallic atom, or even with itself
Does an atom become more or less stable as it loses neutrons?
It can do either, depending on it's state previous to losing neutrons. Generally if an atom is shedding neutrons it is doing so to become more stable.
How does carbon atom become stable?
The only way a carbon atom becomes stable is if they gain or lose electrons. Typically carbon will bond with other elements to do this.
Does an atom become most stable when trying to fill its nucleus?
It becomes most stable when its nucleus is filled, not when it is filling it.
How many electrons does a magnesium atom need to lose to become stable?
2
How many electrons would be required to make an oxygen atom stable?
An oxygen atom requires 8 electrons to become stable because it has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 more to complete it. This is achieved by forming chemical bonds with other atoms, such as sharing electrons in covalent bonds.
