Why does chemical bonding occur?
Chemical bonding occurs because atoms are more stable when they are combined with other atoms to fill their valence electron shells. By sharing or transferring electrons, atoms can achieve a more stable electron configuration and lower their overall energy. This leads to the formation of chemical bonds between atoms.
Are atoms more stable as elements or compounds?
Unless it is an element that has a full valence shell naturally - like neon, krypton, etc. - atoms are incredibly unstable. When a compound is formed the atoms either share or exchange electrons in order to completely fill their valence shells. Unless it is an element that has a full valence shell naturally - like neon, krypton, etc. - atoms are incredibly unstable. When a compound is formed the atoms either share or exchange electrons in order to completely fill their valence shells.
What atoms form when they combine together?
When atoms combine, they form molecules. The type of molecule formed depends on the atoms involved and how they bond with each other. Bonding can occur through ionic bonds (transfer of electrons) or covalent bonds (sharing of electrons).
Does oxygen atoms become more stable or less stable when oxygen forms compounds?
Oxygen atoms become more stable when they form compounds because they are able to complete their valence shell by sharing electrons with other atoms. This allows them to achieve a full outer electron shell and become more like the stable noble gases.
In order to fill their outer most shells and become more stable atoms form what?
In order to fill their outer most shells and become more stable atoms form BONDS.
When elements are more stable in a combined formwhich forms?
Each element can form stable, less stable or unstable compounds.
When do compounds form?
when are atoms are more stable existed at a lower energy state in a combined form

When atoms combine to form compound do they become more stable or less stable?
More stable
Why do atoms loan electrons to other atoms?
To become stable. Without the sharing or "loaning" of electrons atoms would become very reactive. Pure sodium put into water would explode, but when sodium is combined with Chlorine, it produces Sodium Chloride (NaCl) otherwise known as common table salt.
What happends when two atoms are chemically combined?
you have a chemical bond that is either ionic or covalent or something between the two extremes. Atoms become more stable when they are combined. Valence electron form hybridized orbitals with empty orbitals to form a bond in covalent bonds.
Atoms that are unstable are more likely to be what than atoms that are stable?
Atoms that are unstable are more likely to be radioactive than atoms that are stable. This means they can emit radiation in the form of alpha or beta particles, or gamma rays, in order to reach a more stable state.

What is molucules?
a molecule is 2 or more atoms combined
How do you combined two hydrogen atoms into a single hydrogen molecule?
You don't need to, they'll do it on their own. Individual atoms of hydrogen are not chemically stable and will spontaneously recombine.
Do atoms that are stable need more electrons?
no. if the atom is stable it does not need to form any more compounds
Why do atoms tends to be bonded to other atoms?
The correct answer is: Atoms are often more stable when bonded to other atoms
