Imagine you’re playing with your friends, and you all want to share toys. Atoms are like kids who love sharing or trading things, sometimes they pass around electrons like candies, or they take them from each other like snacks. This sharing or trading of electrons helps atoms make new stuff together, like molecules or bigger structures. It’s how everything we see is made.
Examples
- An atom takes an electron from another like a bully taking snacks.
- A group of atoms join together to form water.
