do not bind atoms into molecules. Instead, they are non-covalent electrostatic attractions between two or more molecules or within a single large molecule.

An atom's configuration based on its number of electrons ends at 3p4. another atom has seven more electrons. starting at 3p, what is the remaining configuration? 3p63d34s2 3p43d54s2 3p64s23d3 3p44s23d
