Bonds are formed between two atoms because that results in a more stable state for the atoms. This is a result of electron configuration where most atoms want to have 8 electrons in their outer-most orbital (there are exceptions to this rule, however).

Can an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons form chemical bonds with other atoms?
The atom that has 6 protons is carbon, and carbon forms lots of chemical bonds with other atoms.
What determines whether a carbon atom's covalent bonds to other atoms are in a tetrahedral configuration or a planar configuration?
the presence or absence of double bonds between the carbon atom and other atoms
What is the shape of a carbon atom as is bonds to four other atoms?
tetrahedral
How many bonds can Carbon form with other atoms?
Each carbon atom can covalently bond with as many as four other other atoms. Answer is 4.
What atom forms two covalent bonds?
Two oxygen atoms, you sneaky person, you.
Why does carbon atom bonds to four other atoms?
It doesn't necessarily "bonds to four other atoms."
How would an atom with 2 electrons in its second shell combine with other atoms?
double covalent bonds. single covalent bonds.

How many bonds can Carbon form with other atoms?
Each carbon atom can covalently bond with as many as four other other atoms. Answer is 4.
How many covalent bonds does a sulfur atom form with other atoms?
compound
How many covalent bonds with other atoms is a carbon atom able to work?
Carbon can bond to a maximum of four other atoms.
Why can't there be a quarternary alcohol?
A carbon atom can form a maximum of four bonds with other atoms. A quaternary alcohol would require carbon to form five bonds: four to other carbon atoms and one to the oxygen of the hydroxyl group.
How does a atom transfer charge?
By colliding with other atoms, they share electrons and make bonds.
Why atoms share covalent bonds?
covalent bonds are when one atom shares the same valence electrons with another atom other.Covalent bonds are how atoms stay together
Why would an atom to form bonds with other atoms?
Bonds are formed between two atoms because that results in a more stable state for the atoms. This is a result of electron configuration where most atoms want to have 8 electrons in their outer-most orbital (there are exceptions to this rule, however).
