When two atoms meet and react which parts of their atoms will touch first?
In the normal sense of "react", no parts meet: The nuclei remain distinct but electons may be shared.
What characteristic of atoms allows them to bond with other atoms to form compounds?
They have electrons that can interact with the electrons from other atoms to form bonds. Both atoms are stabilized by having their electron clouds interact, and so this is a favorable interaction. In chemical reactions, bonds are both made and broken. When bonds are formed, the electron clouds of two nearby atoms interact to form a bond that holds the atoms together.
What allows one atom to physically interact with a second atom?
Electrons are the particles in atoms that are involved in chemical reactions.
What is the meaning of central atom?
an atom that holds other atoms
Unequal sharing of electrons occurs when one atom's protons have a greater pull on the shared electrons?
This does occur. The bonds begin to form when electrons from two different atoms begin to interact with other atoms until the two atoms become joined together.

What parts of a magnesium atom interact with other atoms during chemical reactions?
Some or all of its valence electrons.
Can an oxygen atom that has no electron at all and can it bonding to the other atom?
While a lone oxygen nucleus might exist under extreme conditions, if allowed to interact with other atoms at the temperatures at which chemical bonds can form, that oxygen nucleus would immediately take electrons from other atoms until it formed a neutral atom.

Which part or parts of an atom are responsible for bonding with other atoms?
Bonding between atoms occurs at the valence electron level. Core electrons and the atomic nucleus are unaffected.
Which of the subunits of an atom is most responsible for the bonding of two atoms?
Electrons bond two or more atoms by being shared between atoms.
What is the meaning of central atom?
an atom that holds other atoms

This does occur. The bonds begin to form when electrons from two different atoms begin to interact with other atoms until the two atoms become joined together.
Why does the hydrogen atom keep itself as far away from other atoms?
because the hydrogen atom smells and the other atoms make fun of it
What types of electrons are responsible for bonding between atoms?
Valence electrons, the are on the outermost layer of the atom
Why does carbon atom bonds to four other atoms?
It doesn't necessarily "bonds to four other atoms."
