Atoms join together to become more stable. For example, a lone Na+ (sodium ion) will bond with a lone Cl- (Chlorine Ion) to form the stable compound NaCl (table salt).
When different kinds of atoms join together, they form molecules or compounds. The specific arrangement and types of atoms will determine the properties and characteristics of the resulting substance.
a compound
No, they may be different or same.
Elements join together to form compounds such as sodium and chlorine making sodium chloride or salt
if the atoms are of the same type then they would form an element. if the atons are not of the same type then they would be a compound. the atoms or the group of atoms join together with the help of a bond which is formed either by the donation or sharing of an electron.
What structure that results when atoms are join together by covalent bond is called?
Compound if different atoms.
By sharing electrons.
molecules / compounds
Atoms 'join' together by forming chemical bonds in order to obtain better stability than the existence of individual atoms.
