When the atomic orbitals of two atoms come close, their linear combination produces a lower-energy bonding orbital and a higher-energy antibonding orbital, and electrons preferentially fill the bonding orbital to lower the system's energy.

UnverifiedA molecule storing energy means the molecule is in a configuration that is not at the absolute lowest energy, and when it transitions to a more stable configuration, the energy difference manifests as heat, light, electricity, or mechanical work.63% similarUnverifiedThe basic principle of nuclear fusion is to fuse light atomic nuclei such as deuterium and tritium at extreme temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius into heavier atomic nuclei while releasing energy, the same mechanism by which the Sun generates energy.58% similar
