An atom is stable, and unreactive, if it has a full outer shell. That is, if it has 2, 10, 18 or 20 electrons. Atoms with any other number of electrons do not have full outer shells, and thus are unstable and reactive.

Is the second shell full? Yes! This makes the atom stable now. Remember, it an atom has an outermost shell that is almost empty it will lose electron(s) to become stable. When an atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged.

Filling the outermost electron shell with electrons makes an atom stable. Atoms combine with other atoms in order to borrow or share electrons. This allows them to fill their outermost electron shell and become stable.
