What two types of atoms make a covalent bond?
2 nonmetals
2 metals
1 nonmetal & 1 metal

A covalent bond occurs when...
one atom takes an electron of another atom
one atom shares an electron with another atom
one atom transfers a valence electron to a different atom
2 different atoms both have 8 valence electrons
What are electrons found on the outer-most energy level called?
Core Electrons
Octet electrons
Valence Electrons
Polar Electrons
Atoms are the most stable when...
2 or more are bonded together to form molecules (or compounds)
they are separate and apart from other atoms
Which group/family of elements does not readily form compounds?
Halogens
