When the electron shells of two atoms overlap, a chemical bond will be formed.

When the electron shells of two atoms overlap to form a covalent bond, the electrons are shared between the atoms. This sharing allows the atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration by filling their outermost energy levels. This sharing of electrons creates a bond between the atoms, enabling them to stay together as a molecule.
They are shared by the valence shells of the atoms involved in the bond.
When two sodium atoms move toward one another, their outer electron shells may overlap, leading to the transfer of electrons. One atom may lose an electron to the other, forming Na+ cations and resulting in the formation of a sodium compound.
A hybrid is created when two atomic orbitals overlap. Further, "hybridization is a theoretical process involving the combination of atomic orbitals to create a new set of orbitals that take part in covalent bonding."
When two atoms are too close, their electron clouds may start to repel each other, due to the negative charges. This can result in a strong electrostatic force pushing the atoms apart, preventing them from getting any closer. Additionally, if the atoms get too close, their electron shells may start to overlap, leading to the repulsion between the negatively charged electrons, preventing the atoms from bonding.
In a covalently bonded molecule, atoms are bonded by the sharing of their electrons. When Oxygen combines with two Hydrogen, H2O is formed by two covalent bonds. Oxygen, which has 6 outer electrons, needs to gain two electrons to form a completely stable octet of electrons. Each of the Hydrogen atoms requires a single electron to complete its outer level of electrons. The resulting molecule is a angularly bonded molecule of water with two double covalent bonds: O <- oxygen shares 1 electron with each hydrogen atom // \\ <-double covalent bond H H They overlap
The amplitudes add.
there are two types of bonds, ionic and covalent. In an ionic bond, which is a compound, one of the atoms donates one or more electron(s) to another atom to make both of their valence shells full. In a covalent bond, when two or more atoms pair up, they share (an) electron(s) to make their valence shells full.Refrenced: My notes
When two carbon atoms are linked by a triple bond, one will be a sigma bond (formed by the 2px-px overlap of the two carbon atoms) whereas the other two will be pi bonds (formed by the 2py-py overlap and 2pz-pz overlap of the two carbon atoms).
When two (or more atoms) join to form a compound, they actually join by sharing electrons.
Only two electron shells.
