When two atoms join together to form a compound, they are connected by a chemical bond.
Covalent bonds occur when two or more atoms share electrons. This occurs, because the first energy shell has the capacity of holding 2 electrons, as I assume you know. Let's use Hydrogen as an example. It has 2 atoms, so its first shell is full. To bond, one atom sends an electron to the other atom's shell. Basically, when atom 1 sends an electron to atom 2, atom 2 sends an electron over to atom 1 to make the proper space. Simplistically stated, imagine it kinda like Velcro. They make a connection by "hooking" an electron to the other atom's shell. And there you have it! Covalent Bonding!

What is the energy needed to keep at least two atoms held together?
That is an extremely odd way of phrasing it.The energy between two bonded atoms is the bond energy, but it's not the amount of energy required to "keep them held together", it's the energy required to pull them APART.If the atoms aren't bonded, then the force required to keep them together is a function of the distance between them (and the types of atoms they are). The usual approximation is the Lennard-Jones potential, which at the "holding them together" distance is usually described by a twelfth-degree polynomial, but I should stress again that this is an approximation.
Why is the amount of energy necessary to keep atoms together?
The energy necessary to keep atoms together is primarily due to the electromagnetic forces that act between charged particles, such as protons and electrons. These forces create attractive interactions that hold atoms together within molecules and compounds. Additionally, nuclear forces, which operate at very short distances, are responsible for binding protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei. Overall, the balance of these forces determines the stability and structure of atoms and molecules.
Do compounds keep their individual properties?
When compounds are formed through chemical reactions, the individual properties of the elements that make them up are typically lost, and the compound exhibits its own unique properties. The compound's properties are determined by the arrangement and bonding of the constituent atoms.
When two elements combine to form a compound do the elements keep the same properties they had as individuals or do they adapt with new properties as a compound?
They normally have new properties as a compound, example- sodium metal, extremely reactive, reacts violently with moisture; and chlorine gas, deadly poisonous, react together to form table salt-sodium chloride
Do atoms within a molecule repel each other?
In general, atoms within a molecule are held together by bonding forces such as covalent bonds. These forces are attractive and help to keep the atoms close together. However, in some cases, atoms may repel each other due to overlapping electron clouds and steric hindrance if they are positioned too closely.
How do atoms keep their value in a compound?
yes
What keep atoms in a molecule together?
bonds
Is vitamin C a compound or an element?
Well, hello there, friend! Vitamin C is a compound, not an element. It's made up of different elements like carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen all coming together to create this wonderful nutrient that helps keep us healthy and strong. Just like how different colors blend together to create a beautiful painting, these elements combine to make vitamin C a true masterpiece for our bodies.
State of matter that bonds keep together atoms?
The state of matter that keeps atoms together is solid. Liquids and gases allow atoms to break apart from each other.
When elements are joined in a compound do they lose or keep their original properties?
When elements are joined in a compound, they lose their original properties and exhibit new properties unique to the compound. This is because chemical compounds are formed by the bonding of atoms, resulting in different arrangements and interactions compared to the individual elements.
A state of matter in which the bonds keep the atoms close together?
solid state
Gold is an element because?
If you keep breaking it down until it is just atoms, they will still be the same - Gold atoms. An alloy or compound can be broken down into its constituents, Gold can not.
Do atoms that are close together make a solid?
Yes, atoms that are held closely together in a regular arrangement form a solid. The strong forces of attraction between the atoms keep them in a fixed position, giving solids a definite shape and volume.

Why doesn't liquid expand to fill a container completely?
There are relatively strong forces between the particles (atoms or molecules), that keep them together.
