Why do two atoms come together to form a covalent bond? (a) Attractive forces between the positively charged nuclei and the electrons in both atoms occur when the atoms are close together. (b) Repulsive forces between protons in the nuclei of the two atoms are minimized when the atoms are close together. (c) Repulsive forces between electrons in the two atoms are minimized when the atoms are close together.

Hello everyone in this video are being asked why does metallic bonding forming metal atoms were given three different statements here, trying to see which one does answer this question. So the first one reads metallic bonding form by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. So when there's a transfer of electrons from one atom to another, there means that there's no sharing of electrons. So this describing a ionic bond. So this does not explain or answer our question. So a is eliminated now for a statement, be this raised metallic bonding formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms. So the sharing of electrons between atoms refers to covalin bonds. And again, this does not answer our question. And just by the process of elimination statement, C. Is correct. Which raised metallic bonding form by the sharing of free electrons and positively charged ions. And this does describe metallic bonds. So statement see answers our questions of why does metallic bonding form in mental items.
