No. A chemical bond forms from the sharing or transferring of the outermost electrons of two or more elements.

explain bonding in terms of stability-a means of achieving a full outer shell either by transferring or sharing electrons?
An element reacts with another element by sharing electrons. The elements keep sharing electrons until both elements have a full outer shell.
Chemical bonds can be only produced by gaining, losing or sharing electrons. If a compound is formed by losing or gaining electrons, it is called an ionic bond and if by sharing electrons, it is called a covalent bond.
Ionic bonds are formed by transferring electrons, while covalent (molecular) are formed by sharing electrons.
