Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We all know that noble gases are quite stable. The stability of noble gases is the reason why they do not participate in chemical bonding. This stability stems from their possession of a stable duplet or octet structure.

Atoms of other elements attain this stable duplet or octet structure by chemical combination (chemical bonding).

There are two main ways that elements can bod with each other;

  • Electrovalent or ionic bonding in which electrons are transferred from one atom to another
  • Covalent bonding in which electrons are shared between bonding atoms
