- (CHEM Chemistry Study series) Explains chemical bonding in terms of electric interactions that cause bonding in hydrogen molecule. Release of energy when H atoms combine to form H2 on platinum surface is shown. Energy change is related to simultaneous attraction of electrons by two or more nuclei, opposed by electron-electron and nucleus-nucleus repulsions. Through animation, quantum mechanical view of electron distribution is portrayed. Bonding interaction between two hydrogen atoms is contrasted to the very weak, nonbinding interaction between two helium atoms.
