How are radicals formed when two atoms only combine when they have extra electron or they lack an electron?

Radicals generally only occur when the chemical bond of a molecule is broken such that both resulting compounds both remain neutral in respect to the original compound ( there is no positive or negative ion formed ). a good example of this is the cleavage of the carbon chlorine bond by ultraviolet radiation in the ozone layer of chlorinated hydrocarbonds, the result is a chlorine radical (Cl with 7 electrons and no charge) and a radical with the alkyl group

Do molecules combine to make atoms?
Not really. Molecules are combinations of atoms formed when they share electrons.
Are atoms formed when two or more elements combine?
if two or more atoms combine, it chemically forms something yes.
When atoms combine by the sharing of electrons a what is produced?

What king of bond is formed when two atoms share an electron?
Acovalent bond involves the sharing of 2 electrons. 1 electron bonds are weaker although they are known for example in H2+ ion. This is found in deep space. Other examples are in radicals, odd electron molecules.
How is a new compound formed?

The smallest particle of a compound formed when atoms combine?
If it's a molecular compound, the smallest amount would be one molecule. If it's an ionic compound, the smallest amount is a formula unit.

Is table salt formed when the ions of sodium and chlorine combine?
Table salt is formed when sodium atoms and chlorine atoms react to form ions.Sodium atoms have 11 electrons and chlorine atoms have 17. In order to have a stable octet ( a full outer shell), the Sodium atom must lose one electron and the Chlorine atom must gain 1.If the sodium atom gives one electron to chlorine, they will both be stable.This is how table salt is formed.
