The electronic theory of chemical bonding explains the nature of chemical bonds formed between atoms by the sharing or transfer of electrons to attain a stable electronic configuration. Atoms combine to form molecules to attain a stable octet or duet configuration. Therefore, the assertion is true. However, the reasoning is false because the stable octet configuration refers to eight valence electrons in the outermost shell of atoms, except for hydrogen and helium, which require only two electrons to achieve a stable duet configuration.
