The atom is the basic unit of matter which goes into in a chemical reaction

a. Substances react together producing new substances. The activity which changes the substance into a new material is called chemical reaction.

b. An atom is the unit of the substance which undergoes a chemical reaction.

c. An atom that has less than 8 electrons in the last energy level is active.

It reacts with atoms of other elements to complete the last energy level with 8 electrons.
An example:
sodium atoms are active because each has an electron in the last energy level. In a chemical reaction sodium gives this electrons to atoms of another element & end up with 8 electrons in the last energy level.

d. Inert gases such as Argon ₁₈Ar has 8 electrons in the last energy level. They are stable & don’t react with other substances.
