Where the attractive forces dominate the repulsive force, a state corresponding to the distance of _ is reached?

Correct answer: C. 75.4pm

  • A. 89pm
  • B. 79.4pm
  • C. 75.4pm
  • D. 80.0pm

Explanation

Eventually, a state corresponding to the distance of 75.4pm is reached, where the attractive forces dominate the repulsive forces. Here,the potential energy of the system is minimum and the hydrogen atoms are said to be bonded to form a stable molecule.

About Chemical Bonding

Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
