When atoms react, they tend to achieve an outer shell having eight electrons. Many of the representative elements (sodium and chlorine for instance) follow this rule when they form ions. In the ionic case they achieve the noble gas shell configuration by either a gain or loss of electrons.

5. Challenge: A chemical equation is balanced when each side of the equation includes the same number of each type of atom.
svp [43]

A chemical equation is said to be balanced when the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of those elements on the product side.

The process of photosynthesis involves carbon dioxide and water, which reacted together to form glucose and oxygen. The balanced equation for photosynthesis is given below:

6H2O + 6CO2 = C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Looking at this chemical equation, you will discover that: there are 12 atom of hydrogen, 18 atoms of oxygen and 6 atoms of carbon on both sides of the equation.
