Why do atoms exchange or share electrons during bonding?(1 point)

Question

to have eight inner level electrons
to attract an ion with the opposite charge
to become neutral
to obtain a full outer electron shel

Answer 1

Atoms exchange or share electrons during bonding to obtain a full outer electron shell. This is based on the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they each have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving greater stability.
