molecules are formed when atoms lose electrons and then attach themselves to other atoms that have the number of electrons needed to make up for what was lost. For example, Sodium and Chlorine bond together because one loses and electron and the other has the electron needed to replace it. This forms the molecule NaCl, which is more commonly known as salt.

∙ 12y agoAtoms can combine through covalent or ionic bonding. (It's really a scale of how polar the bond is. There is non-polar covalent, polar covalent, and ionic.) These descriptors are all describing the bond, which is the sharing of electrons between the atoms. In a non-polar covalent bond, the two electrons involved are shared equally. In a polar covalent bond, the electrons are shared, but are held more strongly to one atom. In an ionic bond, one atom takes both electrons completely.
Forming bonds is done in order to achieve a full outer shell, either by emptying the current outer shell (sodium does this) or by filling the current outer shell (oxygen does this.)

What do atoms fuse to form into?
Atoms can fuse together to form molecules or compounds.
What do atoms form when they stick together?
molecules
Are all atoms made up of molecules which may combine to form elements?
No. Molecules are made of atoms, not the other way around. Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds.
Do molecules combine to make atoms?
Not really. Molecules are combinations of atoms formed when they share electrons.
What do atoms form when they share electric pairs?
molecules
Combined atoms form what?
Well, they can form molecules. Molecules join together to form elements. Elements join together to form compounds.
What do atoms fuse to form into?
Atoms can fuse together to form molecules or compounds.
How can you predict how atoms will combine to form a molecule?
You can predict how atoms will combine to form a molecule because molecules always arrange their atoms in the same proportions because atoms bond together in predictable ways. :)
How do atoms combine to form molecules through ionic bonding?
Atoms do not form molecules through ionic bonding. They form molecules through covalent bonding, in which the atoms share electrons.
What atoms form when they combine together?
They create molecules. If the atoms joined together are from different elements they create polar molecules.
Atoms bonded together to form a chemical unit are called?
Molecules
Can molecules combine to form atoms?
No. Atoms bond to each other to form molecules, not the other way round
Why is it possible to form molecules made of thousands of carbon atoms?
Because carbon can bind to itself (in multiple ways).
Do all elements have atoms and molecules?
All elements have atoms, but most do not form molecules.
What is the relationship among atoms elements and molecules?
atoms combine to form molecules of elements
Why atoms join to form molecules?
atoms are generally unstable. they combine to form stable molecules
What form of atoms or molecules form ionic bonds?
Ions, charged atoms
