How do atom form chemical bond?

Around the nucleus of atoms circulate electrons. They are in shells. The electrons in empty shells are called valence shells. Now, if a shell isn't full, only partly, an atom will want to fill it. Hence, it will connect with an atom with too many electrons.

Nature in general abhors energy and will always try to minimize it. It is energetically favorable for atoms with too many electrons to bond with atoms with too few in the valence orbit/shell. Sometimes it is more energetically favorable to share electrons. This type of bond is a covalent bond.

Does the smaller element get to own the shared atom in a chemical bond?

No, in a chemical bond, atoms share electrons to achieve stability. The sharing of electrons varies depending on the elements involved, and neither atom "owns" the shared electrons. The electrons are shared between the atoms to form a stable bond.


Where does a chemical bond form when a dipeptide is synthesized?

A chemical bond forms between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another amino acid during the synthesis of a dipeptide. This bond is known as a peptide bond and it links the amino acids together to form the dipeptide.


What kind of chemical bond will be formed between atom a and atom b if atom a loses electrons and atom b gains these electrons?

An ionic bond will form between atom a and atom b if atom a loses electrons and atom b gains these electrons. Atom a becomes a positively charged ion (cation) and atom b becomes a negatively charged ion (anion), resulting in an electrostatic attraction between the two oppositely charged ions.
