Atoms with an unmatched electron in their s orbital are very active and fast moving. How do they create a seemingly solid bond?
This course looks at hydrogen atoms when they join to form H2, or hydrogen gas. The goal is to visualize how the two electrons of two hydrogen atoms come together to form this “solid” bond.
But first, let’s discuss very fast creatures.
