Concept:Atoms achieve stable electron configuration by completing their outermost shell through gaining, losing, or sharing electrons.
Explanation:Gaining electrons helps an atom fill its valence shell.
Losing electrons also helps an atom achieve a full outer shell.
Sharing electrons allows atoms to reach stability through covalent bonding.
Hybridization of orbitals is a theoretical model for explaining molecular geometry, not an actual stability process.
Therefore, the process not exhibited by atoms is hybridization.
Answer:B. Hybridization of orbitals.
