“How Atoms Form Molecules” — Series
How Atoms Form Molecules
A series that makes the invisible world inside atoms clear, visual, and intuitive.
A journey into the geometric and energetic rules that shape every atom, bond, and molecule.
Written for curious readers who want to finally “see” how atoms behave — without equations or jargon.
What This Series Gives You
A clear, visual way to understand electrons, orbitals, and the architecture of molecules.
You’ll learn:
Why electrons move the way they do
Why orbitals have specific shapes
How geometry guides stability in atoms
How molecules form from simple rules
Why symmetry, motion, and energy work together to build everything
Each volume is short, friendly, and designed for readers who love science — especially those who’ve always wanted a clearer picture of the atomic world.
Why I Wrote This Series
I’ve always loved patterns — especially the ones that reveal how matter behaves.
But too much of chemistry and physics is taught as a list of facts or diagrams, rather than a story with its own internal logic.
I wanted to create a place where electrons, orbitals, and molecules feel natural — where the geometry behind them becomes obvious.
This series grows from that goal.
Hi, I'm Juman. It's great to see you!
I've had a lifelong interest in what makes cells tick. I want to understand cells, health and disease at the molecular level in a way that makes sense. Here's the first series of books describing atoms and molecules, as a prelude to a series on water, the molecule that engineers life.

I. Electrons: How They Navigate Around an Atom
Exploring the hidden geometry that guides atomic motion
Introduction
Most of us rarely think about electrons—yet every breath, spark, and heartbeat depends on them.
They are the tiny movers that give matter its structure, chemistry, and even its ability to exist.
An oxygen atom, for instance, holds eight electrons. Four of them join forces with another oxygen’s four to form the O₂ molecules we breathe. But to understand how those electrons decide to pair up, we must look more closely at what electrons are and why they move the way they do.
In this mini-book, I’ll focus on two guiding questions:
1. What are electrons, and where did they come from?
2. What defines an electron’s behavior within an atom?
By the end of this short journey, you’ll be able to visualize three key aspects of electron motion:
•The speed at which electrons travel.
•Why they are drawn toward the nucleus.
•The invisible constraints that shape their motion.
This is the first volume in a series exploring how atoms form molecules.

Key idea:
If we can picture electrons as restless travelers moving along invisible highways around a city—the city being the nucleus—we can understand how those same electrons link atoms together into molecules like oxygen, water, and every living cell’s foundation.
