What happens when two atoms form a chemical bond?

  • A.Two atoms fuse together to form a chemical bond
  • B.The atoms share or transfer electrons
  • C.A chemical bond forms when two atoms transfer or share protons to achieve a stable nucleus
  • D.Like charges in the atoms cause them to stick together

Answer: B

When a bond forms, the atoms share or transfer electrons.

Transfer gives an ionic bond and sharing a covalent one; either way the atoms reach a more stable electron configuration and the system falls to lower energy. Protons and nuclei are not involved - moving those would be a nuclear process, not a chemical one.
