Chemical Bonding Explained
Electrons strive for the lowest energy state, which drives the formation of chemical bonds between atoms. When atoms approach each other, electrons can transition to lower energy orbitals, creating a mutual attraction between the positively charged nuclei and the negatively charged electrons. This interaction often results in the formation of ions, leading to electromagnetic attractions that bind the atoms together.In this clip
