Covalent bonds are the most stable because they share electrons to fill their outer shell- their valence shell- which make them completely stable. Unstable molecules are those that do not have a full outer shell, thus want to pair up and fill it.

Covalent bonds tend to make atoms more stable by helping them do what?
Covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons.
Forming ionic or covalent bonds helps make atoms more?
stable
How many bonds does carbon need to form to be a stable compound?
The strongest and most stable bonds involve carbon (C) to carbon bonds. C in sp, sp2, and sp3 hybridization, that is single, double and triple bonds, are the most stable.
Does neon prefer ionic or covalent bonds?
Neither, Neon is an extremely stable noble gas.
How do atoms in covalent bonds become stable?
by binding ionic atoms with opposite charges that are equal.

Which type of bond is stable and do not ionize?
Covalent bonds are stable because they are strong bonds due to sharing of electrons and they also don't ionise and eventually dont conduct electricity.

What is the Correct number of covalent bonds formed by silicon?
silicon alwayus forms the 4 covalent bonds just like carbon. but its pi bonding is not stable due to larger atomic size....
What kind of bond holds together the atoms within the molecule?
There are many types of bonds and forces that bind molecules together. The two most basic types of bonds are ionic and covalent.
What are the covalent bonds and ionic bonds?
Ionic Bonds- When a metal and a nonmetal come together and loses or gains an electron. Covalent Bonds- Two nonmetals that share one or more electrons. Both bonds bonds together to form a stable, complete or filled outer shell of 8 valance electrons.
In order to fill their outer most shells and become more stable atoms form what?
In order to fill their outer most shells and become more stable atoms form BONDS.
Why is the compound magnesium oxide more stable than its separate components magnesium and oxygen?
Because its ionic bonds between magnesium and oxygen are stronger and more stable than the metallic bonds between magnesium and the covalent bonds between oxygen
