What is responsible for forming chemical bonds with other atoms?

The electrons in the outermost electron shell are responsible for forming chemical bonds. In some case, reacting atoms share their valence electrons (covalent bond, typical in case of non-metals), instead of losing or gaining them (as in ionic bonding) and achieve fully filled outermost electron shells.
