The force between two atoms is the result of repulsion, nucleus-nucleus , and nucleus-electron . At the point of , the forces balance the forces. The most stable arrangement of atoms exists at the point of , when the atoms bond covalently and a forms.

Explanation:

The same charges repel each other while opposite charges attract each other. During electron-electron interaction repulsion take palace because the electron has negative charges. Nucleus has positive charges so the interaction between two nucleus results in the form of repulsion. When interaction takes place between nucleus and electron then attraction takes place between nucleus and electrons due to opposite charges.

          The formation of a bond that takes place due to the sharing of the electrons is known as a covalent bond and thus the covalent molecule is formed.

h let me think

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
