As atoms get bigger, they have more electrons due to the increased number of protons in the nucleus. These additional electrons occupy higher energy levels or orbitals that are farther from the nucleus, resulting in a larger atomic radius. The increased distance from the nucleus leads to a weaker attraction between the nucleus and the outermost electrons, making them more loosely bound and influencing the atom's chemical properties. Additionally, electron-electron repulsion in the outer shells can lead to variations in reactivity across different elements.

What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.

What can you conclude about what happens to atoms when they form molecules?
i conclude that the molecule will grow bigger and bigger into multiple molecules.:)
What usually happens to the outer electrons of matalic atoms when they combine chemically?
They form bonds with other atoms.
When metals react with other elements what happens to the valence electrons of the the atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
What happens in a single covalent bond?
In a single covalent bond, two atoms share a pair of electrons. This shared pair of electrons creates a strong bond that holds the atoms together. The atoms achieve a stable electron configuration by sharing the electrons.
