4 More about atoms: electrons

Four rules electrons live by:

1. Spin.
2. Always try to pair up with someone of the opposite spin.
3. Get plenty of privacy - stay away from other electron couples.
4. Try to live in a perfect neighbourhood - often a group of eight.

- Thanks to Ellen McHenry.

Read the rest of her chapter to find out about the special electron properties of the noble gases. Try the activities and I'll read, The Periodic Kingdom.

Plenty of videos on atoms; try this one.
