How does WIFI client devices switch between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz

Not a wifi expert here and trying to understand how does the wifi client switch between 2.4 and 5Ghz ssid ...

Say I have a wifi network with multiple standalone APs and all the APs are capable for both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands. Clients’ wifi card/adapter supports both bands as well. I configured Corp-WIFI as the SSID name on both bands with WPA2 PSK. Would wifi client switch between the two bands automatically?

If so, what is/are the factors for clients to make the switch?

If not, why and how should design/setup the network to utilize both bands efficiently? Just use “intelligent” band steer function in the AP?
