Of course, atomic configurations can change, namely, pass into excited states, or become isoelectronic structures of inert gases (in ionic compounds).

In real molecules, there are two scenarios: one theory involves the creation of molecular orbitals. The second is the hybridization of atomic orbitals depending on the composition of the molecule.
