Atomic reaction is nothing but the reaction of one atom with the other atom to form the new compound.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The atom is considered as the ultimate basic particle of the matter.
- This atom comprise of electron neutrons and protons.
- Generally in the atomic reaction, there will be loss or gain of the electron to or from the substance with which the reaction takes place.
- In default, all atoms wanted to attain the noble gas configuration which is stable in nature. These atoms from the ionic or covalent bond by sharing the electron.

There are six electrons in the covalent bonds.
Two N atoms would be :N:· + ·:N:
An N₂ molecule would be :N:::N: or :N≡N:
This gives each N atom an octet of eight electrons in its valence shell.
Each element or compound has a molar mass, which is calculated by multiplying the atomic mass of each element by the amount of atoms of that element, and summing the results of each element. The molar mass is measured in g/mol. So you divide the mass in grams by the molar mass to get the amount of moles.
Example:
There are 5g of water.
Calculate the amount of moles.
The water's formula is H2O, so the molar mass of it is
g/mol.
The amount of moles is:
5g ÷ 18g/mol ~ 0.28mol
