Atoms form bonds in order to become stable, which usually means achieving an octet (8) of valence electrons, except for hydrogen which is stable with two valence electrons. Chemical bonds can be covalent or ionic. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons. An ionic bond forms when an atom gains one or more electrons and becomes a negatively charged ion, while another atom loses one or more electrons and becomes a positively charged ion. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond.

nonpolar
What types of bonds does actinides form?
Actinides are metals, they form metallic bonds with same atoms and ionic bonds with non metals.
What are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds within and around large molecules?
Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds within and around large molecules.
What can people use to discuss theories of how and why atoms form bonds?
People can use electronegativity and energy to discuss theories of how and why atoms form bonds. Atoms will only form bonds if it is a lower energy state for them to be in. Bonds are formed by electron sharing.
When atoms form bonds with atoms they share?
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons
What types of bonds are there in atoms?
The types of bonds are corporate bonds, junk bonds ,treasury bonds and municipal bonds. There are saving bonds also.
What bonds does carbon atoms tend to form?
Carbon will almost always form bonds with other carbon atoms, and that is part of what makes it such a useful element.
