Structure of an atom
As you go across a period add one valence electron
As you go down a group add one valance shell - all elements in the same group will contain similar chemical properties

Octet Rule
The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the theory that main-group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.
VSEPR
The 3D structure of molecules can be determined using electron pair repulsion (VSEPR). Lone pairs repel bonding pairs, this how trigonal pyramidal molecules are formed.
