Lesson 2 is a crucial lesson because it takes you from discussing the elements in isolation to exploring how these elements interact with each other at the atomic level, and how chemists, including you, can predict these interactions. As you were introduced, or most likely reintroduced, to the elements in the periodic table, you learned the important role protons play in defining one element from the next. As we move our focus to bonding in this lesson you will shift your focus to the electrons, since they define how elements interact with each other.
