chemical bonds
Atoms combine with other atoms to form compound. It makes the atoms stable.
Four
In order to fill their outer most shells and become more stable atoms form BONDS.
More stable
Yes, atoms of copper and iron can generally form stable bonds with transition elements. Copper and iron are both transition elements themselves and can form stable bonds with other transition elements. The stability of the bonds will depend on factors such as the electronegativity and bonding properties of the specific elements involved.
Atoms or molecules do chemical reactions to be stable, noble gasses are already stable, so they do not react with other molecules to form chemical bonds
The correct answer is: Atoms are often more stable when bonded to other atoms
atoms are generally unstable. they combine to form stable molecules
Unless it is an element that has a full valence shell naturally - like neon, krypton, etc. - atoms are incredibly unstable. When a compound is formed the atoms either share or exchange electrons in order to completely fill their valence shells.

nitrogen atoms join up to form nitrogen molecules becoz their outermost shell is not stable. to be stable, they join up to form nitrogen molecues... ;)
the nobel gases are already stable, with full octets of valence electrons
They create molecules. If the atoms joined together are from different elements they create polar molecules.
