Sharing electrons results in a covalent bond.
valence electrons
Atoms can fill their outermost energy level by either gaining electrons from other atoms or by sharing the outermost electrons with another atom.
The Outermost Electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms.
Valence electrons, the are on the outermost layer of the atom
an ion
The sharing of electrons in bond formation always involves the outermost electron shell of atoms. This sharing can occur between atoms of the same or different elements in order to achieve a stable electron configuration through the formation of covalent bonds.
Yes, an atom can form if we have 8 outermost electrons .Argon (Ar) is an Example having such atoms .
When atoms share electrons to fill their outermost energy levels, they form covalent bonds. In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms to achieve stable electron configurations.

Hydrogen and Helium
The chemical properties of an atom depend on the number of electrons in its outermost shell, known as the valence electrons. These electrons determine how atoms interact with other atoms to form chemical bonds.
