• gains
• loses
• destroys
• creates

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

Valence electrons are found

• in the innermost energy level of an atom

• in the middle energy levels of an atom

• in the outermost energy levels of an atom

Covalent bonds are between...

Atoms are most stable when their outer shell is complete.

• true
• false

How are covalent bonds formed?
