Can atoms attract electrons of other atoms?

If atoms can attract their own electrons, can they also attract the electrons of other atoms or molecules that are near?

Yup, they sure can. These bonds create molecules and compounds.

An atom can either share electrons with other atoms (a covalent bond), or it can remove electrons from (or donate electrons to) other atoms (an ionic bond).

The formation of a bond causes a strong attraction between two atoms, creating molecules or ionic compounds.

bahahhahahahahha called a text book! use it sometime!

Yeah, I think so cause dont atoms share electrons?

Yes, that's how all other substances besides the elements are formed.
