Noble Gas atoms do not interact with other atoms, because their valence shell (or subshells) is FULL. Members of the Noble Gases family have all their shells, including their outermost valence shell full of electrons to their rim. They do not need to "handshake" with any other atom to borrow or give away electrons; that is why they are not reactive and do not need to shake hands! They do not form chemical bonds with anyone. They are a family of 6 existing siblings. In the family of Noble Gases, the atom's outer shell has no "empty sleeve." The concept of inert gas is explained. The idea of shell and sub-shells and how the sub-shells are arranged, when atoms have more than 3 shells, is revealed.

Tom-the-Atom represents the Carbon Atom, the most crucial atom in the Universe. A series of illustrated science books for children and adolescents. The young reader will become familiar with the world of atoms, which make up all the material in the Universe; the Earth, the planets, the stars, and you and me. The young reader is invited to become part of the World of Atoms and develop his/her understanding of how atoms form everything. Tom the Atom, Book 1: Carbon is my name, Tom the Atom is my nickname!Henry and Mary discover Tom-the-Atom. He talked about his world and invited Henry, Mary, and you to visit his world, made of ten Atoms' families, for one hour on weekdays, just after school. Tom-the-Atom, who belongs to the family of the Non-Metals, represents the Carbon Atom.

Tom the Atom, Book 10: A day at the museum: Henry and his friends discover electricity! Henry and his classmates visit an exhibit at the Lawrence Hall of Science --in Berkeley, California-- on electricity. Children learn the concept of electricity, a current of metal's valence electrons. In metallic atoms, the valence electrons are so loose that they can move from one atom to another when a pressure called voltage difference is applied to the metal. Electricity is flux or flow that we call a current of "free" electrons.

Tom the Atom, Book 4: Water matters!Tom the Atom introduces to Henry, Mary, and you two additional siblings, from his same family of the Non-Metals: tiny Hydrogen and ample Oxygen. When two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom make a firm handshake (covalent bond), the three atoms produce a water molecule to quench your thirst.

He explains how they get their weight, size, chemical character, and general chemical characteristics.

Henry and Mary had a beautiful Saturday at their home playing with their school friends and reviewing what they had learned in Tom-the-Atom's World. Henry and his friends play with the concept of Carbon (Tom-the-Atom) atoms and covalent bonds. Carbon atoms alone can form different materials from a piece of graphite to a diamond, just by handshaking four or three times at once with his tuples (identical atoms).While Mary introduced, to her friends, the idea of molecules, she explains that water molecules have a distinctive shape like a Mickey Mouse face. An enjoyable day!

You, Mary, and Henry go to visit Tom-the-Atom World to meet Silicon and learn about Semiconductors. This time they visit the town where atoms live. They stop at the beautiful and wealthy neighborhood of the Semi-Metals. The community is small. Tom-the-Atom calls out to Silicon. He is in the Periodic Table in Column 14 or Group 4A. I.e.., he has 4 valence electrons in his outermost shell/subshells. He is the 3rd row, just below that Tom-the-Atom, Carbon. Silicon is in the 3rd row (or Period), meaning he has 3 shells. Silicon is dressed very wealthily and shows us his outside market. Easy to figure it out how versatile and essential it is for human.

Tom-the-Atom calls for one of his sisters: Nitrogen. She is in the Periodic Table in Column 15 or Group 5A. Accordingly, she has five valence electrons in his outermost shell/subshell. She is the 2nd Row (or Period), to the right of Tom-the-Atom and the left of Oxygen. The second Row means that Nitrogen has two shells. Nitrogen occupies the same column that Phosphorus, just one Row above. Nitrogen belongs to the essential family of the Non-Metal-a small family with only seven siblings. However, five out of those seven siblings are among the most important actors responsible for life (Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphorous CHONP)! We often refer to the air we breathe as "Oxygen," the most common molecules in our air is Nitrogen. Earth's atmosphere is 78% Nitrogen gas or N2. Even though there is so much Nitrogen in the air, there is very little in the Earth's crust. Nitrogen can also be found in all living organisms on Earth, including people, plants, and animals. Nitrogen plays an essential role in proteins and nucleic acids. You will learn that even we need Nitrogen, we cannot breathe it from the air. We will take it by eating our vegetables. In Book 18, you will learn about the Nitrogen Cycle.

You, Henry, and Mary learned that atoms belong to 10 families. That they are a total of 92 atoms. Only 92 in the entire Universe! But each one has many twins (tuples). In shape, atoms are round. They have a tiny, massive belly full of Protons and Neutrons. Outside their nucleus or belly, they have from one to 7 belts filled with Electrons. Protons are positive, neutrons do not have a charge, and electrons are negative. The number of protons in their belly equals the total number of small electrons in their shells (or belts). The number of protons and neutrons in their belly gives their weight. The number of shells determines their size. All shells are full, but the last one that can be or not complete. The electrons in the outermost shell are called valence electrons. The number of electrons in their outermost shell (usually from one to eight) dictates the atoms' Character. Tom calls those valence electrons "hands" and the lack of them in that outermost shell called "empty sleeves."
