The formation and function of The formation and function of molecules depend on molecules depend on chemical bonding between chemical bonding between atomsatoms• Atoms with incomplete valence shells can
share or transfer valence electrons with certain other atoms
• These interactions usually result in atoms staying close together, held by attractions called chemical bonds
