Isaiah Leonard · Answer 1

It wants to keep his electrons near to it

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction. An atom is made up of energy levels that contain electrons which are negatively charged and the nucleus which contains neutrons and protons that are negatively charged. Due the positive charge of the nucleus of an atom, an atom always wants to attract its electrons and keep them near it. However, it weakly attracts the other electrons of a nearby atom.
