There is a general tendency to form an octet, to have a stable structure.
Any noble gas (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, or Rn)

In a covalent bond, each atom retains its outer shell of electrons. The atoms share pairs of electrons to achieve a full outer shell, which makes the bond stable.
This is a covalent bond.
Noble gases have a complete octet and are stable because they have a full outer electron shell. They do not chemically bond with other atoms because they are already in a stable configuration.
The bond between O and H is covalent. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to fill their outer electron shell and become stable. Oxygen and hydrogen form a covalent bond by sharing electrons to create a stable water molecule.
no it it not stable.
Its outer electron shell is complete, with 2 electrons. Therefore it does not readily bond with other elements.
Oxygen and nitrogen typically form a covalent bond when they bond together. In this type of bond, the atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell and form a stable molecule.
Sodium wants to bond with chlorine to achieve a stable electron configuration. Sodium has one electron in its outer shell and can transfer this electron to chlorine, which lacks one electron in its outer shell. By transferring the electron, both sodium and chlorine can attain a full outer shell and achieve a more stable, lower energy state. This results in the formation of an ionic bond between sodium and chlorine to create sodium chloride (table salt).
It is a covalent bond.
