Forming Bonds: How Atoms Bond

The video explains the role of valence electrons in forming bonds between atoms. It highlights that not all atoms bond similarly, and some rarely bond. Valence electrons can be transferred or shared to fill the outermost energy level of atoms. An example is provided with sulfur and magnesium, where sulfur gains electrons and magnesium loses them, resulting in filled energy levels.
