When a Hydrogen atom and Chlorine atom come together to form Hydrogen Chloride, a covalent chemical bond is formed.
Due to the different in the electronegativities of the two elements, the covalent bond formed is polar with the Chlorine side of the molecule "pulling" on the electron more than the Hydrogen. As a result, the Chlorine gains a partial negative charge while the Hydrogen gains a partial positive charge.
When chemical bonds are formed, energy is given off (exothermic process). Energy is absorbed when bonds are broken, but in this case we were dealing with atoms so there were not originally any bonds to break.

Chemical bond is formed and energy is released.

atoms can kind covalent bonds in any can of molecules or compounds. Like acid, base, gas, salt, and so on. On correct of that this molecules may also cutting-edge different kind of bonds like ionic bonds. nicely now that I see your possibilities: NH3 basically

A bond is formed.
Energy is released.
