An atom achieves its goal of stability by seeking to fill its outer electron shell, which is often accomplished through bonding with other atoms. This can occur through ionic bonds, where electrons are transferred, or covalent bonds, where electrons are shared. By achieving a full outer shell, typically resembling the electron configuration of noble gases, the atom attains a lower energy state and greater stability.
