Answer:wo processes by which elements can combine to form stable compounds are transferring electrons from one atom to another (ionic compounds) or by sharing electrons (covalent compounds).
Covalent bonding is when atoms share electrons in order to form a stable electron arrangement. The two positive nuclei are attracted to the positive shared electron which holds the molecule together.
Ionic bonding is a giving and accepting of electrons between a metal and non metal. A metal will give the non-metal one or more electrons in order for both to form a stable electron arrangement.
