What effect do you think the properties of an atom have on the way that it bonds with other atoms?

Covalent bonds are strong bonds in which electrons circling the atomic nucleus are shared. The nature of the covalent bond is determined by the number of electrons shared and the nature of the two elements sharing the bond.

Chemical bonds are the forces of attraction that tie atoms together. Bonds are formed when valence electrons, the electrons in the outermost electronic “shell” of an atom, interact. The nature of the interaction between the atoms depends on their relative electronegativity.
