Brittle hard crystals that have high melting points. They conduct electricity when dissolved in water.

Soft crystals that have low melting points. They don't conduct electricity when dissolved in water.

Unstable nuclear crystals that have high melting points. They don't conduct electricity in a solid state.

Atoms share electrons

Atoms give away electrons

Atoms gain electrons

Atoms are near eachother

So they can share electrons, and fill both of their valence shells at the same time. They can then become stable.

So they can receive and gain electrons and become stable

So they can share electrons, and fill both of their valence shells at the same time. They can then become unstable.

So they can share electrons, and fill both of their valence shells at the same time. They can then form isotopes.
