It depends on the properties of the atoms. But, basically they join together to satisfy the octet rule. Octet rule stated that every atom will want to have eight valence electrons. So when atoms join? Answer: when they found a pair that can satisfy that rule (either covalent or ionic.) Also, it depends on the temperature and pressure.

Yes, when atoms join they create a molecule of any kind, for example: When 2 atoms of Hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen combine, they create a molecule. In this case it is the element of water. H2O.

electrons

Chemical bonds - either ionic bonds or covalent bonds, depending on whether the electrons are being lost/gained (ionic) or shared (covalent)

What is a tovalent bond?

I think you mean a covalent bond. It is a shared pair of electrons which joins atoms together.


What occurs during During The Dark Reactions Of Photosynthesis?

Hydrogen atoms released from water are added to carbon dioxide molecules so that carbon oxygen bonds are broken and carbon atoms can join together. Carbon dioxide consists of a carbon atom attached to two oxygen atoms. That way, a carbon atom joins two other carbon atoms. One of the hydrogen atoms joins the carbon atom and one of the hydrogen atoms joins with the oxygen atom. You end up with the carbon atom attached to four different atoms.
