They form a molecule by the intermediate of chemical bonds.
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
This depends on the ability to gain/loss electrons.
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.

The nonmetals share the atoms when reacting with each other.

Two bromine atoms will form a nonpolar covalent bond when they react with each other.
The outermost electrons, located in the atom's electron cloud, determine how it will react with other atoms. These electrons are involved in chemical reactions as they interact with electrons from other atoms to form chemical bonds.
When atoms get close to one another the magnetic force repels each other or attracts each other.
