molecules are more stable than the atoms,because the noble gas configuration is more stable. atoms in order to get the noble gas configuration they gain or lose the electron(s). by this they form molecules.

∙ 13y agoBased on your question, you have probably noticed that just throwing two chemicals together does not mean that a bond will form. This fact is a good thing, because if every chemical or element that came in contact with another bonded, the world would be constantly reacting. In order for chemicals to bond, a reaction needs to take place. Without adding energy, a reaction will only take place if both compounds or elements will become more stable after the reaction. "Becoming more stable" means that they will both have a full octet of electrons, and a complete energy level.
If you look at a Periodic Table, group one elements have one valence (or outer energy shell) electron. In order to be stable it wants a full octet, so it will react with a group seven element so each element in the compound has a full octet. It does this by giving its electron to the group seven element, because it is far easier to lose one electron than it is to gain seven. There is much more that goes with this process, for example compounds that have more than two elements, but you get the general idea.

∙ 9y agoAtoms join together to make compounds because the compounds made are more stable than the what it was before (atoms). It has much to do with interactions of the electrons. Atoms become stable when the achieve octet valence electrons (8 electrons in in outer most shell). Although most atoms (besides noble gases) do not have the stable octet valence electrons to start off with, when compounds are made, the octet valence electrons is made most of the time.

Combined atoms form what?
Well, they can form molecules. Molecules join together to form elements. Elements join together to form compounds.
How do atoms combine to form molecules through ionic bonding?
Atoms do not form molecules through ionic bonding. They form molecules through covalent bonding, in which the atoms share electrons.
What atoms form when they combine together?
They create molecules. If the atoms joined together are from different elements they create polar molecules.
What is the relationship among atoms elements and molecules?
atoms combine to form molecules of elements
Will the attraction between various combinations of atoms produce bonds which form molecules?
The attraction between various combinations of atoms do indeed produce bonds which form molecules. An example of this is water, as hydrogen and oxygen atoms form H2O molecules.
What do atoms fuse to form into?
Atoms can fuse together to form molecules or compounds.
Combined atoms form what?
Well, they can form molecules. Molecules join together to form elements. Elements join together to form compounds.
How do atoms combine to form molecules through ionic bonding?
Atoms do not form molecules through ionic bonding. They form molecules through covalent bonding, in which the atoms share electrons.
What atoms form when they combine together?
They create molecules. If the atoms joined together are from different elements they create polar molecules.
Atoms bonded together to form a chemical unit are called?
Molecules
Can molecules combine to form atoms?
No. Atoms bond to each other to form molecules, not the other way round
Do all elements have atoms and molecules?
All elements have atoms, but most do not form molecules.
What is the relationship among atoms elements and molecules?
atoms combine to form molecules of elements
Why atoms join to form molecules?
atoms are generally unstable. they combine to form stable molecules
What form of atoms or molecules form ionic bonds?
Ions, charged atoms
When compounds form what is one result of the atoms that bonded?
Atoms form molecules.
Can atoms in a molecule share or lose electrons?
Yes. Just as atoms can form molecular bonds with other atoms (especially in molecules), some molecules can form bonds with other molecules, as with (OH) radicals and hydrated molecules.
