A composite of two or more particles that behaves as a single particle
In physics, a bound state is a composite of two or more building blocks (particles or bodies) that behaves as a single object. In quantum mechanics (where the number of particles is conserved), a bound state is a state in the Hilbert space that corresponds to two or more particles whose interaction energy is negative, and therefore these particles cannot be separated unless energy is spent. The energy spectrum of a bound state is discrete, unlike the continuous spectrum of isolated particles. (Actually, it is possible to have unstable bound states with a positive interaction energy provided that there is an "energy barrier" that has to be tunnelled through in order to decay. This is true for some radioactive nuclei.)
This is a state in which a particle is contained within a certain region of the atom because it does not have enough energy to escape An electron in a atom is bound because of its electrical attraction to the nucleus, which makes the mass of the atom slightly less than the sum of the masses of the electron plus the rest of the atom without the electron
This is a state in which a particle is confined within a composite system, for example an atom or a nucleus, because it does not have enough energy to escape An electron in a atom is bound because of its electrical attraction to the nucleus, which makes the mass of the atom slightly less than the sum of the masses of the electron plus the rest of the atom without that electron
