what is created when chemical reactions join atoms together
Atoms bond to form molecules. Two or more atoms may bond with each other to form a molecule. When two hydrogens and an oxygen share electrons via covalent bonds, a water molecule is formed. Chemical reactions occur when two or more atoms bond together to form molecules or when bonded atoms are broken apart. Describe the properties of chemical reactions and compounds. Atoms form chemical bonds with other atoms thereby obtaining the electrons they need to attain a stable electron configuration.
