Chemical bonds are what make up the world. In bonds‚ elements are held together and form compounds that may have new physical and chemical properties. There are two main kinds of bonds‚ they ionic and covalent. In bonding the goal of the atoms involved is to reach a level of stability with less energy. In order to reach the epitome of stability‚ as in the case of noble gases‚ an atom strives to complete its outer shell. Either losing or gaining electrons may do this‚ which concludes in an ionic bond

Sharing Electrons Example~ A hydrogen atom has one electron. If it had two electrons‚ it would have the same electron configuration as a helium atom. Two hydrogen atoms can achieve a stable electron configuration by sharing their electrons and forming a Covalent bond. A covalent bond is a chemical bond in which two atoms share a pair of valence electrons. When two atoms shair one pair of electrons‚ the bond is called a singe bond.
