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.

Chemical bonds are formed when the valence electrons of one atom interact with the valence electrons of another atom.

Does an atom form a chemical bond from its nuclear charge?
yes, it makes a covalent bond at that point
Can every atom form each of these kind of bonds?
Helium doesn't form any kind of chemical bond. Every atom has its specialty, they don't form every type of bond.
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. Covalent bond, however, is when the two atoms share electrons when they bond.
What causes a chemical bond to form between atom?
transferring or sharing electrons
Where does a chemical bond form when a dipeptide is synthesized?
a nitrogen atom in an amino group and a carbon atom in a carboxyl group
What does one electron from one atom and one electron from another atom form?
Together they form a chemical bond.A sigma or pi bond
Why atom form chemical bond?
By forming chemical bonds, atoms get more stable than their individual state. It can be explained by the release of energy while forming a chemical bond.
Which type of bond changes the bond of a atom?
Chemical bond
Why can a carbon atom bond with itself so easily?
Carbon can form four chemical bonds.
What doesn't have a chemical bond?
Any atom that hasn't undergone chemical bond.
How many electrons does phosphorus gain when making a chemical bond?
A phosphorus atom gains three electrons to form a phosphide anion when forming a chemical bond to a metal.
Can every form each of these kinds of bonds?
Helium doesn't form any kind of chemical bond. Every atom has its specialty, they don't form every type of bond.
