No. They combine when the compound is more stable. Any system will tend to go toward a more stable state.
If a molecule is less stable than the individual atoms there is a good chance it will fall apart.

What atoms form when they combine together?
They create molecules. If the atoms joined together are from different elements they create polar molecules.
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.
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.
Why do atoms tend to be bonded to other atoms'?
The correct answer is: Atoms are often more stable when bonded to other atoms
Does oxygen atoms become more stable or less stable when oxygen forms compounds?
Oxygen becomes more stable when it forms compounds.
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
What atoms form when they combine together?
They create molecules. If the atoms joined together are from different elements they create polar molecules.
When atoms combine to form compound do they become more stable or less stable?
More stable
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.
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.

Atoms that are unstable are more likely to be what than atoms that are stable?
radioisotopes
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
