Why do atoms release energy when forming a chemical bond?
I was wondering why do atoms release energy and overall have less energy when they bond. I do know that bonds = lower energy = more stability but i wasnt sure why exactly
After some research I reached the conclusion that atoms bond because when they do and their octets are filled that makes the electrons more symmetrical to one another. In turn that allows for minimal changes and collisions of the electrons
i dont know if that is actually true so if someone knows i would be happy to be corrected #science
