No: A full valence shell means the atom is very stable and has little likelihood of combining with other atoms.


Why do atom combine?

Atoms can combine only if they are having an incomplete valence shell. They combine to attain an octet structure. They can also share electrons. There are some elements whose atoms do not combine, they are the inert gases.

Can atoms combine to form new atoms?

Atoms combine to form new atoms in the cores of stars. It is possible but quite difficult to combine them in atom smashers on this planet. That is how the trans Uranium elements have been produced.


2 Why and how do atoms combine?

The 'Goal' of atoms is to have a total of 8 electrons. So if 1 atom has 5 electrons, and the other has 3, then it is possible for them to combine into a compound. The fusion of two atoms can happen by itself, but that is the extent of my knowledge on the subject.
