Well in chemical bonds between two atoms there are single (2 electrons shared), double (4 electrons shared) triple 6 electrons shared and quadruple bonds (8 electrons) shared.
Where electrons are delocalised across more than 2 atoms, then many electrons can be shared- the ultimate is a metal where in a solid sample of a metallic element all of the valence electrons of each atom are shared so that number is very large.

If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements of other elements?
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
How do elements turn into a compound?
Elements turn into a compound by gaining or losing electrons to form ionic bond. They can also share electrons to form covalent bonds.
What chemical characteristics do elements in a group share?
Elements of the same group generally share the same number of valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outer energy level only. These are the electrons that participate in a chemical reaction, so elements in the same group behave similarly in chemical reactions, which makes predictions and generalizations possible.
Why do elements in group 18 rarely react with other elements?
Elements in Group 18 already have an octet of electrons, which is a full outer shell of 8 electrons. An octet of electrons makes the element stable, so it does not need to react with any other elements to gain or lose electrons.
What group share electrons and form covalent compounds with other elements?
The Nitrogen Group.
Who do elements transfer or share to form compounds?
electrons
What do elements with in a family tend to share?
similar chemical properties and characteristics
What type of bond form when elements share electrons?
covalent bonds
Can atoms of some elements can share three pairs of electrons?
yeap!
Family of elements that gain of share three electrons when they react?
nitrogen
When atoms of different elements share electrons they form?
A covalent bond.
What type of bonds are formed when elements share electrons?
covalent bonds

Why is it easier for group 14 elements in the periodic table to become stable instead of transferring electrons?
Group-14 elements do not transfer electrons. They share electrons to form covalent bonds.
Do a family of elements share the same number of valence electrons?
Yes they do. Groups/Families tell the number of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outermost energy level).
What is shared when elements bond covalently?
When elements form covalent bonds, they share electrons with each other. In covalent bonding none of the atoms gains or looses the electrons but share the electrons among them and hence both try to achieve stable electronic configuration.
How do elements turn into a compound?
Elements turn into a compound by gaining or losing electrons to form ionic bond. They can also share electrons to form covalent bonds.
