In Chapter 6 we saw that the chemistry of sodium can be understood in terms of the special stability of the inert gas electron population of neon. An electron can be pulled away from a sodium atom relatively easily to form a sodium ion, Na+. Chlorine, on the other hand, readily accepts an electron to form chloride ion, Cl-, achieving the inert gas population of argon. When sodium and chlorine react, the product, sodium chloride, is an ionic solid, made up of Na+ ions and Cl- ions packed in a regular lattice. Sodium chloride dissolves in water to give Na+(aq) and C (aq) ions. Sodium chloride is an electrolyte it forms a conducting solution in water. 

Except for argon, the third-row elements make up an important fraction (about 30%) of the earth s crust. Silicon and aluminum are the second and third most abundant elements (oxygen is the most abundant). Both the occurrence and the mode of preparation of each element can be understood in terms of trends in chemistry discussed earlier in this chapter. 

But does the fact that the third shell can contain 18 electrons also explain why some of the periods in the periodic system contain eighteen places Actually not exactly. If electron shells were filled in a strictly sequential manner the explanation would be complete. But as anyone who has studied even just high school chemistry is aware, the electron shells do not fill in the expected sequential manner. The configuration of element number 18, or argon is...
