A description of how interactions within the atom produce change.

A description of how interactions within the atom produce change.

Intramolecular forces are covalent, metallic, and ionic bonds. These bonds produce change when they bond to other atoms and produce metallic ionic and covalent bonds. Then those bonds change in chemical and nuclear reactions. They change in chemical reactions when a bond is split and another bond is formed. In nuclear reactions fission and fusion produce change. In fission change is produced when two heavy atoms combine to make a lighter atom with half of the protons and neutrons. In nuclear fusion two light atoms combine to make a heavier atom.
