In 1895, French chemist <a href="/wiki/Henri_Moissan" title="Henri Moissan">Henri Moissan</a> attempted to form a reaction between <a href="/wiki/Fluorine" title="Fluorine">fluorine</a>, the most <a href="/wiki/Electronegativity" title="Electronegativity">electronegative</a> element, and argon, one of the noble gases, but failed. Scientists were unable to prepare compounds of argon until the end of the 20th century, but these attempts helped to develop new theories of atomic structure. Learning from these experiments, Danish physicist <a href="/wiki/Niels_Bohr" title="Niels Bohr">Niels Bohr</a> proposed in 1913 that the <a href="/wiki/Electron" title="Electron">electrons</a> in atoms are arranged in <a href="/wiki/Electron_shell" title="Electron shell">shells</a> surrounding the <a href="/wiki/Atomic_nucleus" title="Atomic nucleus">nucleus</a>, and that for all noble gases except helium the outermost shell always contains eight electrons.<sup id="cite_ref-brit_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-brit-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1916, <a href="/wiki/Gilbert_N._Lewis" title="Gilbert N.
