The bonding of two atoms will most likely occur if:

a more stable state can result from the union
the outer shell can be completely filled
all the balance electrons are removed
the electronegativities of both atoms are similar

the answer is the electronegativities of both atoms are similar because none of the other answers make sense.

Answer:

A more stable state can result from the union.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

At first, we must consider that chemical bonds are formed as result of chemical processes that causes atoms and molecules to be attracted to each other and held together via linkages turning out in more stable chemical compounds. In addition, atoms are more reactive, and subsequently more likely to form the aforesaid linkage, when their outer electron orbitals are not complete. Atoms become less reactive when the outer orbitals get full, that is why noble gases do not react.

Best regards.
