Why do elements react?
this is science
Answers:
'Cause they're reactive!
every element, or atom is surrounded by electrons. these are what gives the atom its reactivity. all elements strive to gain a full outer shell of electrons, so try to do this by reacting with each other, and sharing electrons (covalently bonding to each other) to get a full outer shell.
Ask a chemst
or you could just realize that they do react.
why did you ask this question?
Elements react to become more stable. They react using their electrons. Each has a certain number of electrons in the outer ring. They want to get to the number 8. It may mean losing electrons, or gaining electrons or if they are in the center of the periodic table sharing electrons.
elements react because they are surrounded by electrons. Put very simply, this wants a full outer shell, so will steal or share from other elements. Sometimes this involves alot of energy and this is where you can see some quite impressive reactions.
the electrons around a atom cause it to react with its soundrings, but not all atoms react for example noble gases dont.
