Scelta multipla
When forming a chemical bond between two atoms, which of the following typically occurs?
A
Energy is absorbed because the atoms become less stable.
B
The atoms become positively charged ions.
C
Energy is released as the atoms achieve a more stable configuration.
D
The atoms lose all of their valence electrons.

Understand that chemical bond formation involves interactions between atoms that lead to a more stable arrangement.
Recall that stability in atoms is often achieved by lowering their potential energy, which means energy is released during bond formation.
Recognize that energy absorption typically occurs when bonds are broken, not formed.
Note that atoms do not necessarily become positively charged ions when bonding; ion formation depends on the type of bond (ionic vs covalent).
Conclude that the correct general statement is: energy is released as atoms form bonds and achieve a more stable electronic configuration.
