Ionic and covalent bonds

Why do all bonds form?

• so the number of protons equals the number of electrons

• so an atom can become unstable

• to fill the outermost energy level

How do covalent bonds form?

• By donating and receiving valence electrons between atoms.

• Scientists still aren't sure.

• Opposite slight charges attract each atom in the compound.

• Sharing valence electrons between atoms
