Sharing electrons, reactivity, and the Periodic table.

This learning resource focuses on the importance of valence electrons in determining the reactivity of elements and their patterns across the Periodic Table. Students will learn how electron sharing impacts chemical bonding, the concept of the Octet Rule, and distinguish between reactive and stable elements. Through various activities such as retrieval practice, identifying valence electrons, explaining reactivity, and applying the concepts to real-world contexts, learners will develop a deeper understanding of atomic structure and the fundamental properties that govern chemical interactions. The resource also encourages students to explore the application of electron sharing in biological systems and everyday materials, highlighting the relevance of this knowledge in modern technology.
