Stable atoms.
This is called an "octet" of electrons. It could also be called a "closed shell", since it is characteristic of the outer shell of noble gas atoms.
The sharing of electrons in the outer energy levels of two atoms is called bonding.
These are the valence electrons.
Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer shell or energy level through the process of bonding with other atoms, either by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons. This is known as achieving stability or reaching a more favorable energy state.
They share electrons when they try and corm covalent or ionic bonds. This is because the atoms want to gain a full outer shell. So when they share electrons they can have full shells.

No bond at all, He has a complete outer shell
all atoms what to get a complete outer energy ring of electrons. al that is except for the noble gases they all ready have a complete outer electron cloud. what atoms do is either share or take away an electron depending on its needs. for example lithium is alkaline earth metal in group 2 there for it needs to lose 2 electrons to have a complete outer ring. the rings are like shells. the first can only hold 2 electrons at a time the second can hold 8.noble gases have a complete outer ring
