Atoms bond with other atoms to reach the most stable state possible. The basic unit of matter is the atom, which consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number, and atoms seek stability by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell like the noble gases.

What is the basic unit of matter and is considered
the smallest unit of an element? A. Atom B. Electron C. Neutron D. Proton 2. Based on the selection, what is the number of electron/s of Hydrogen? A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 3. Water (H2O) is composed of two atoms of Hydrogen with 1 valence electron each and one atom of Oxygen with 6 valence electrons. Why do atoms tend to bond with other atoms? A. to attract more atoms to bond with them B. to reach the most stable state that they can. C. to improve the strength of an atom to exist longer D.to remove excess electrons that are not needed from an atom 4. Helium is stable and has a non-reactive electron structure with two atomic number and 2 number of protons. Given this idea, how is atomic number connected to the number of protons? A. Atomic number is equal to the number of protons B. Atomic number is directly proportional to the number of protons C. Atomic number is inversely proportional to the number of protons D.The atomic number is not related to the number of protons of an atom 5. If the atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons, then what will be the number of electrons of an atom if element “X” has 18 Protons? A. 9 B. 18 C. 27 D. None
