Answer:
Atoms combine to form chemical
bonds to acquire a state of minimum energy. The state of minimum energy corresponds
to state of maximum stability. Hence, the atoms combine with each other only if
the process leads to lowering in energy. \[n{{s}^{2}}n{{p}^{6}}(or\,1{{s}^{2}})\]
represents a stable configuration and corresponds to maximum stability. Atoms
combine to achieve this configuration.
