Atoms bond together because they want to have full electron orbitals. Aside from the noble gases, atoms usually have an uneven number of atoms in that outer orbital. In order to be happy they want to have 8. This can be accomplished by shar...
Atoms of the similar element or of different elements bond either by sharing of electrons, "covalent bonds" or by the transfer of electrons to form charged ions, "ionic bonds". Metallic bonding is how the majority of elements, bond in their pure state. This involves the delocalistion of electrons, "the sea of electrons" model for "metallic bonds", and this form of bonding is also present in alloys of different metals.
Based 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.

The elements bond for the reason of:
Elements bond with each other to mutually lower their energy. Nature always tries to minimize energy. Water flows downhill rather than uphill for example. So sodium does not like being sodium metal it would rather lower its energy and become a sodium ion and likewise chlorine would like to lower its energy and become chloride. The two attract and form an ionic crystal lattice of sodium chloride which is much lower energy.
Hg (Mercury) is an element, not a bond. It can bond with other elements in different way to form compounds.
Elements with complete outer energy levels are noble, which means that they will not bond with other elements. They are not (normally) reactive.
Yes, americium is a fairly reactive chemical element.
In order for elements to bond with each other, they must have either one or more 'free' electrons orbiting the atom's nucleus, OR must have one or more spots where electrons could be, but aren't. Neon has neither. It is inert, meaning it cannot bond with other elements.
Compounds are made of elements. Elements are the smallest units of the compounds. Elements are bond to make compounds.
no they can bond with any other element
Almost every other element except the elements in group 18 bond with oxygen to form compounds.
Titanium is an element (Ti), not a chemical bond. It can from chemical bonds with other elements that can react with it
By having a close look on the electronic configuration we can easily tell that which element will combine with the other elements and by which force too.
Apart from the inert gases which are monoatomic all of the other elements bond to themselves and to atoms of other elements.
An element's physical and chemical properties. You can also predict what elements will bond with each other.
No, im pretty sure that only some elements will bond to others, remember theres cations and anions!
Its outer electron shell is complete, with 2 electrons. Therefore it does not readily bond with other elements.
What do elements do in a reaction? A: The elements that are present form a chemical bond. This happens because of the fact that the elements that are present to form such combine together to make the chemical bond.
Any simple sugar is not an element but a bonded collection of many individual elements, also known as a molecule. There is no right answer to this misguide question.
An ELEMENT can not be separated into other elements.
There are no atoms or elements shared (or owned) in a chemical bond.
