Why Do Atoms Form Chemical Bonds Between Each Other?
Atoms form chemical bonds simply because there is an attraction between them. To answer your question thoroughly, the attraction occurs solely due to the outermost electron shells, or valence shells. If the valence shells of one atom is more filled or complete than the atom it is next to, then expect interaction activity such as transferring and/or sharing of electrons. Keep this mind, not any and all atoms can readily mix with each other. They must be balanced. I can elaborate once I know if it is the ‘2-8-8- Rule,’ or anything that you are currently learning.
