uncomplete atoms attract each other sort of like a magnet. when they 'stick' together they are then called a molecule but there are atoms that do not form together because they are complete. they are called Noble Gases.

Fusion occurs when 2 whole atoms are combined. An example of this is in our sun. The intense heat and pressure in the sun combines 2 hydrogen atoms. The result of this fusion is a helium atom and an extreme amount of energy.
