When compounds form, what is one result for the atoms that bonded? . a. a stable arrangement of electrons. b. an unstable arrangement of electrons. c. more than eight electrons in their valence shell. d. fewer than eight electrons in their valence shell

When elements form compounds, the atom bonding results to a stable arrangement of electrons. This is true to covalent bonding where electrons are shared and in the ionic bonding where electrons are transferred in order to form a stable configuration that completes the octet rule (8 electrons).Answer is A.

Um google the question and answer them.
