No, atoms do not bond to form electrons because electrons cannot be "formed" in this manner. Instead, bonds are formed when atoms share the electrons they possesses. Each atom wants to gain a full octet of electrons in its outermost shell. Until the atom has eight, it cannot be happy and remains "unstable." So, through the process of bonding, an atom will share its valence electrons (electrons in the outer shell) with another atom. This way, each atom can satisfy its octet and be happy.

What happens to the stability of atom when they form covalent electrons?
The term 'covalent' is usually applied to a bond in the context of chemistry; electrons are the particles that participate in bonding. The act of bonding helps atoms achieve a stable configuration, one way of achieving this is by sharing its outer electrons in a bond. One might say the stability of an atom increases thereby.
How many electrons are shown in the electron-dot structure of iodine?
Iodine in its natural form is I2, two iodine atoms bonded with a single covalent bond. There are 6 non-bonded valance electrons on each atom, so there are 12 electrons in the electron-dot structure.
When two element form a covalent bond what do the electrons do?
A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs ofelectrons between atoms, and other covalent bonds. In short, the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding.[1]Covalent bonding includes many kinds of interaction, including σ-bonding, π-bonding, metal to metal bonding, agostic interactions, and three-center two-electron bonds.[2][3] The term covalent bond dates from 1939.[4] The prefix co- means jointly, associated in action, partnered to a lesser degree,etc.; thus a "co-valent bond", essentially, means that the atoms share "valence", such as is discussed in valence bond theory. In the molecule H2, the hydrogen atoms share the two electrons via covalent bonding. Covalency is greatest between atoms of similar electronegativities. Thus, covalent bonding does not necessarily require the two atoms be of the same elements, only that they be of comparable electronegativity. Although covalent bonding entails sharing of electrons, it is not necessarily delocalized. Furthermore, in contrast to electrostatic interactions ("ionic bonds") the strength of covalent bond depends on the angular relation between atoms in polyatomic molecules.
Where are non-bonding electrons found?
The electrons in the valence shell are those most concerned with bonding and how that occurs. The "non-bonding" electrons are the ones in the inner shells, or the non-valence shells of an atom. Non-bonding electrons are also found in the valence shell. They are referred to as lone pairs. For example, in ammonia (NH3), nitrogen has one lone pair. In most circumstances, lone pair electrons do not form bonds (they do in a special type of covalent bond).
What is it called when water water molecules move apart and escape in the form of water vapor?
Evaporization is when water is released in the form of a molecules in the air.
Which electrons can form diatomic molecules joined by a single covalent bond?
The valence electrons
Atoms may bond together to form?
Molecules.
Which kind of bond is formed when two atoms share electrons to form a molecule?
When forming molecules, atoms share electrons to form covalent bonds.
Can atoms bond together to form molecules?
Yes, that's how molecules are formed.
How do atoms bond to form molecules?
Atoms bond together by sharing or transferring valence (outer shell) electrons, either in covalent (molecular) bonds or in ionic bonds.See related questions below.
Monosaccharides may bond together to form molecules called?
Two monosaccharides may bond to form a disaccharide. Many monosaccharides may bond together to form polysaccharides.
How does ionic bond bond?
They form when a metal and a nonmetal come together and loses or gains electrons.
When two or more atoms bond together and share electrons they form a?
covalent bond
What do the molecules glucose and fructose have in common?
They bond together and form a disaccharide.
What are the two molecules in glucose and fructose?
They bond together and form a disaccharide.
What is the difference between a ionic bond covalent bond and a polar covalent bond?
The ionic bond is formed by electrostatic attraction between two atoms.In the polar covalent bond the electrons sharing is unequally distributed between the two atoms, but the bond remain covalent.
What do atoms form?
Protons and neutrons When atoms bond, a molecule is formed. When protons and neutrons bond, a nucleus is formed. When a nucleus and the necessary electrons bond, an atom is formed.
