Question

When two hydrogen atoms approach each other to form a chemical bond, different interactions occur between the atoms. identify the correct statements with respect to the interactions involved in the formation of chemical bond. check all that apply. hints check all that apply. when two atoms of h approach each other, the electrons attract each other. when two atoms of h approach each other, each electron is attracted by the other nucleus. when two atoms of h approach each other, the two nuclei repel each other. when two atoms of h approach each other, each electron repels the other nucleus. when two atoms of h are infinitely far apart, they show attractive interactions?

Answer 1

The correct statements in regards to the interactions involved in the formation of chemical bonds are as follows:
1. When two electrons of hydrogen approach each other, each electron is attracted to the other nucleus. 
2. The two electrons repel each other and 
3. The two nuclei repel each other.
For a chemical bond to be formed by the hydrogen atoms, the attractive interactions between the two atoms must be greater than the repulsive interaction.
