Which atom attains a stable valence electron configuration by bonding with another atom?

Describe the forces both attractive and repulsive that occur as two atoms move closer together.

To find the work done, the force exerted and distance moved are multiplied. a couch is moved twice before you are happy with its placement. the same force was used to move the couch both times. if more work is done the first time it is moved, what do you know about the distance it was moved? a) when more work was done, the couch was moved the same distance. b) when more work was done, the couch was moved less. c) when more work was done, the couch was moved further. d) when more work was done, the couch wasn't moved at all.

When scientists are ready to publish the results of their experimentation, why is it important for them to include a description of the procedures they used?
