Question

3. Which statement below regarding covalent bonds is F a. Electrons in a single covalent bond are mutually attracted to two nuclei. b. The average bond length is the distance between the nuclei when the energy is at a aw ALSE? miniuum. The energy of the interaction between two neutral atoms continuously decreases as their separation decreases. The covalently bonded atoms are at a lower energy than the separated atoms. Electron-nucleus attractions must overcome electron-electron and nucleus- nucleus repulsions. c. d. e.

Explanation / Answer

Answer; option (c)  

C is the false statement as energy of interaction intialini decreases as separation decreases but after minimum value it will increases when replusior force dominates.
