IT gains, looses, or shares outer electrons.
Covalent bond :)
N2 is a molecules of an element because both atoms in the molecule have the same number of protons (7). A lone nitrogen atom is somewhat unstable as it needs 3 more valence electrons for a full outer shell. To fill this shell it shares electrons with another nitrogen atom.

"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.
IT gains, looses, or shares outer electrons.
mw2 rules
Hydrogen atoms share electrons in a covalent bond.
I could go into great detail about electrons, protons, and neutrons, but to someone who doesn't understand, it'll just look like a totally different language. So I'll simply say it all depends on the atoms and what compound they're creating.Atoms that are less stable as a compound: Nitrogen, Gold, Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xeon, Radon.Atoms that are more stable as a compound: everything else.
a covalent bond
Hydrogen shares its electrons to complete the octate so it gains 1 electrons. it can also its electrons.
Mercury easily shares its valence electrons
Yes, H20 is a covalent compound, therefore it shares electrons when it bonds.
The covalent bonds that oxygen shares with hydrogen gives it a full outer shell of 8 electrons.
Eight. Oxygen has 6 electrons and shares two more with the hydrogen atoms in covalent bonds
The atomic number (number of protons) is identical.
