Having an open shell means that one or more electrons in the outer shell of the element is (are) available to react with an external atom or molecule to establish a chemical bond and is therefore unstable. When a reaction fills an open shell or removes all of its valence electrons, it releases energy and the resulting product is at a lower energy level and more stable. 2, record 1, English, - open%20shell
