 The initial state of an electron and a negative charge.
|  A later state showing the electron is pushed away.
|
 The initial state of an electron and a positive charge.
|  A later state shows the electron is attracted to the charge.
|
 The polarization of an atom by a nearby positive charge, showing the shift of the electron cloud towards it.
|  The polarization of an atom by a nearby negative charge, showing the shift of the electron cloud away from it.
|
 When another nucleus is too far away from an atom, it can only polarize it.
|  When another nucleus is close enough to an atom, the electron is shared by both, forming a covalent bond.
|
 The initial state of a bound electron in a static electric field.
|  A later state shows the tunnel ionization is nearly completed.
