The electrons of a single, isolated atom occupy atomic orbitals each of which has a discrete energy level. When two or more atoms join together to form into a molecule, their atomic orbitals overlap. The Pauli exclusion principle dictates that no two electrons can have the same quantum numbers in a molecule

Ans ➡️ When two atoms approach each other, there comes a point where it is no longer possible to describe the system as "two atoms". Rather, it becomes "one molecule". This is a gradual transition. When the atoms are far away from each other, they behave like separate atoms: one wave function for the atom on the left and an identical atom on the right having the same spectrum of energy levels as the one on the left.
