No, not always. Some can exist in what's called a "monatomic state". That is, they exist as a single atom, either due to artificial separation from other atoms, or because they have no need to bond to other atoms.
Atoms tend to bond to other atoms to become more stable, but atoms that are already stable tend not to bond. Examples of such are the noble gasses, which rarely bond except through synthesis.

The first bond in a covalent molecule is always the sigma bond?
A sigma bond is the bond in which two atoms share the electrons.
Two bromine atoms form a metallic bond?
If two bromine atoms form a bond with each other, the bond is covalent, not metallic.
When atoms in a covalent bond share electrons unequally (one atoms pulls more than the other) the bond is said to be?
Polar bond apex :)
A chemical bond that forms when atoms share electrons is always?
It will be a non polar molecule because, electron's ARE shared equally in a bond. Atoms have same or similar EN(electronegativity) values.
What can carbon atoms bond with?
With itself, and other elements.
Two atoms of bromine react with each other to form what bond?
In any diatomic element it is always a covalent bond.
How many carbon atoms can bond to a single hydrogen atom?
Atoms of elements have a fixed number of electrons that can bond with other atoms. Carbon has 4 electrons that can bond with other atoms. So 4 hydrogen atoms can bond with one carbon atom.
Can carbon atoms bond with other atoms?
yes
The first bond in a covalent molecule is always the sigma bond?
A sigma bond is the bond in which two atoms share the electrons.
Why do some atoms bond with other atoms?
Atoms combine with other atoms to form compound. It makes the atoms stable.
A chemical bond that forms when atoms share electrons is always an?
covalent bond
When are atoms of elements prone to bond with other atoms?
when they are in contact
Two bromine atoms form a metallic bond?
If two bromine atoms form a bond with each other, the bond is covalent, not metallic.
What type of bond if formed if atoms donate electrons to other atoms when the elements are combined?
Cations donate atoms to form an ionic bond.
What type of bond is formed if atoms donate electrons to other atoms when the elements are combined?
Cations donate atoms to form an ionic bond.
Why atoms of carbon so special?
They can bond with 4 other atoms.
When atoms bond with other atoms what do types of bonds do they form?
ionic
