∙ 9y agoFor the formation of chemical bonds such as ionic bonds and covalent bonds, electrons need to be transferred from one atom to another or sharing of electrons by the atoms of the molecules respectively.

∙ 11y agoIn order to lower the potential energy of the entire system; in other words, molecules are more stable than the atoms existing alone because of bonds. Of course, some molecules are more unstable, but these molecules do not form.

∙ 12y agoWhen atoms get close to one another the magnetic force repels each other or attracts each other.

Its all to do with the space about the outermost electrons in an atom.

Because carbon has four electrons in its outer energy level it can do what?
it can react with up to four other atoms to form covalent bonds(:
Why cant 2 solids react easily?
Because the atoms are moving very slowly and therefore cannot merge with other atoms.
Why do atoms react with one another and form chemical bonds?
Atoms react with one another in order to become stable.
Why do atoms react?
Atoms react to gain more stability and each element tend to obey octet rule. One atom react with other atoms and form different type of bonds either by complete transfer of electrons or by sharing of electrons, thereby trying to gain more stability by obeying octet rule.
What determines whether or not an atom will react with other atoms?
depends on the charges, either negative or positive
What happens with atoms of the metals when they react with other elements?
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
Atoms react with other atoms based on?
This depends on the ability to gain/loss electrons.
What do atoms do when they react with other atoms?
They form a molecule by the intermediate of chemical bonds.
When metals react with other elements what happens to the valence electrons of the the atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
When metals react with other elements what happens to the valence of the metal atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
What happens to the atoms of non metals when non metals react with metals?
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
When nonmetals react with other nonmetals the atoms of the nonmetals?
The nonmetals share the atoms when reacting with each other.
When nonmetals react with other nonmetal the atoms of the nonmetals?
The nonmetals share the atoms when reacting with each other.
When metals react with other elements what happen to the valence electrons of the metals atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
When metals react to the other elements what happens to the valence electrons of the metal Atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
When metals react with other elements what's happens to the valence electrons of the metal atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
Why atoms react with other atom?
When atoms get close to one another the magnetic force repels each other or attracts each other.
