Static electricity holds two atoms together

this dude is wrong

trust me im doing a crossword puzzle for school that consited of this question and static electricity didn't fit.
A thorough answer requires quantum calculations, but a simplified answer is that covalent compounds are held together because at least two electrons, one from each atom held together by the bond, can occupy an orbital dependent on the attractions of the electrons to the nuclei of two distinct atoms and that in this orbital dependent on the attractions of the electrons to the nuclei of two distinct atoms, the two electrons have less total energy than they would have in the lowest unfilled orbitals of the two atoms from which the electrons are derived.
