Atoms form bonds by sharing electrons or gaining or losing electrons to other atoms.

For example:

Carbon forms bonds by sharing four electrons with other atoms.

Sodium forms bonds by losing an electron to another atom - that makes sodium positive and the atom such as chlorine that gains the electron positive - so a bond is formed.

Chemically joined means that bonds are formed between atoms.

What is it called when 2 or more elements are not chemically joined together?

When 2 or more elements are not chemically joined together, it is called a mixture. Mixtures can be classified as homogeneous (uniform composition) or heterogeneous (non-uniform composition) depending on how evenly the elements are distributed.


What substance only contains more then one type of atom chemically joined together?

A compound is a substance that contains multiple types of atoms chemically bonded together. Examples include water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).


A group of atoms chemically joined?

A molecule is a group of atoms chemically joined together through chemical bonds. These atoms can be from the same element or different elements, creating a wide variety of different molecules with unique structures and properties. Molecules can range in size from simple diatomic molecules, like oxygen (O2), to complex organic molecules found in living organisms.


What does chemically stable or unstable mean?

Chemically stable refers to a substance that does not easily undergo a chemical reaction, while chemically unstable means a substance is reactive and likely to undergo a chemical reaction. Stability is influenced by factors such as bond strength and molecular structure.


When two or elements are join together?

When two or more elements are joined together, they form a compound. Compounds can have different properties than the individual elements that make them up. This process is often used in chemistry to create new substances with specific characteristics.
