Most of us have studied chemistry at some point of our lives..
Have you ever wondered which is your favorite atom? Yeah, you heard it right.. Name your favorite atom. Thank for a while if you want.
Mine is Helium. The cute stable atom. Its beauty lies in its wonderful harmonious structure.. It is lucky to blessed with 2 electrons in its orbit. Now, these 2 electrons dont have a thing to worry about in their lives.... They are together, orbiting around the same path.. balancing and accompanying each other. They have got company. Its like the happily ever after story. And look what we get. A colorless, odorless gas. Doesnt hurt a fly..
In contrast to this, look at hydrogen. Poor fellow has just a single electron. now for how long do you expect a single electron to go around a proton far far away!!! It gets bored.... runs away leaving behind the poor proton. Its of course so natural for this proton to get angry.... It starts attacking every other atom and forms disturbingly horrid compounds(acids!).
See, thats why i love helium atom. Does it not make sense?

i understand that even electrons can get lonely sometimes. :)
