Answer:
As the electrons fall to a position of lower potential energy, the total mechanical energy of the molecular system decreases. ... The energy lost by the atoms is released as heat or light. Heat is the vibrational and translational motions of the molecules.When a bond forms, electrons are attracted to the space between nuclei where the electrostatic force of attraction is greater. As the electrons fall to a position of lower potential energy, the total mechanical energy of the molecular system decreases. Part of the mechanical energy of the unbound atoms is lost when they form the molecular system with a lower total mechanical energy.
