 Therefore if each atom has a single electron in the outermost shell, these atoms attract, if there are 0 or 2 electrons, the net electron force cancels (but electrostatic repulsion remains).

 ## Adding repulsion
 
 If bringing two atoms closer would keep increasing energy, any covalent bond would collapse; eventually the two atoms must start repelling (at least when the nuclei get close, but really already much earlier).
