In this model the electron cloud of a multi-electron atom may be seen as being built up (in approximation) in an electron configuration that is a product of simpler hydrogen-like atomic orbitals. The ...

"They touch when the electron orbitals of one atom overlap enough with the electron orbitals of the other atom that physical or chemical effects start happening," Baird explained. "This is ...

This may arise when atoms' electron clouds overlap significantly, he said. "They touch when the electron orbitals of one atom overlap enough with the electron orbitals of the other atom that physical ...
