What makes up a family unit?

Depends on who is giving you the definition, and a lot on the traditions in many countries. Traditionally, a family unit is made up of mother, father, and children. Some countries widen the definition to grandparents or cousins, and have a lot more family members that live together. If you aren't married, or you have a non-traditional household, the definition for you might be different. I am not married, and I live with my unmarried brother... we are sort of a family unit, because we are related, share houshold responsibilities, go grocery shopping together, share ownership of some of our books and movies, are given gifts as a group, etc. ... But it is a non-permanent situation. He'll probably get a job and a girlfriend and move on someday. :) So, things like that come into play all the time when people argue about how to define a family. Some people will also insist that pets are included as part of the definition.

Which elements tend to share electrons in chemical bonds?

Nonmetals typically share electrons in chemical bonds in order to achieve a stable octet configuration in their outermost energy level. This sharing of electrons allows both atoms involved in the bond to reach a more stable, lower energy state. Examples of elements that commonly share electrons in bonds include oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon.
