==== Two atoms form a bond when they come close enough for their electron wavefunctions to overlap, allowing a lower-energy molecular orbital to exist, and when the system can dissipate the excess energy; before that critical distance there is no significant attraction, and past the equilibrium distance repulsive forces dominate. ==== If you'd like, next step could be: * A full Lennard-Jones/Morse potential derivation * A simulation with actual overlap integrals * How chemistry differs for ionic, covalent, and metallic cases when viewed at this fundamental level Which direction do you want to go?
