Remember that all atoms are striving to achieve the stability of noble gases i.e. an even numbered electron structure with (2 or 8 etc. electrons), and the quest for finding a like atom with which to bond uses lots of energy. Stability in gases happens when the atoms come together and a certain sense form a covalent (as opposed to an ionic) bond. Hope this is not too technical for you
