How does bonding help achieve chemical stability?

Question

Responses
A Bonding helps the atoms fill their valence electron shells.
B Chemical stability is attained as bonding increases energy.

Answer 1

A. Bonding helps the atoms fill their valence electron shells.

When atoms bond together, they share or transfer electrons in order to fill their outermost electron shell, also known as the valence shell. This allows them to achieve a more stable electron configuration, similar to the noble gases on the periodic table. By filling their valence shells, atoms become more stable and less likely to react with other atoms in order to achieve a full outer shell. This helps in achieving chemical stability.
