An atom is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The lighter atoms consist of the most important building blocks of life.  Electrons are very small and negatively charged. The lighter atoms become “happy” (stable) when they have 8 electrons in their outermost electron shell.  This valence shell is where all the excitement is in atoms.  Electrons can be shared(covalent) or transferred(ionic) so that atoms can reach that perfect number of electrons… 88888888888888888888888888888888 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888  That's the octet rule.

GanderGoose and I had a correct solution, verified by the checker, but couldn't find anything resembling a cache at GZ despite a lot of looking, feeling, and body contortions to get new perspectives. So, we put in a replacement--hope that's OK. I'm beginning to think that, thanks to DrPolley, I have completely restudied all my science, math, and English classes from my childhood. TFTC!
