The two ways of combining atoms are:

1. transfer of valence electrons
2. sharing of valence electrons
3. both \( A \) and \( B \)
4. none of the above

Correct answer: both \( A \) and \( B \)

Solution

Atoms combine either by transferring valence electrons to form ionic bonds or by sharing valence electrons to form covalent bonds. Since both mechanisms exist, the correct choice includes both A and B.
