is all of chemistry theoretical? i mean we can’t magnify cells enough to see their bonds so do we just kinda assume what different types of bonds are/look like? how do we know that every noble gas will be stable? how do we know electrons are always added to the right?

In a sense, yes. Even the most complex and accurate descriptions science has of how things work on the atomic level are just models that fit all of our observations and measurements.
That’s all science is, really. Somebody says “hey, I wonder if it is this way?” and then tries to gather evidence for that hypothesis
